As happens so often in business, it is easy for their to be un-intended circumstances that come from even the simplest of actions. Many companies love to tout their long-term business models and forecast on the strength and volume of their business. When it comes to smaller operations (ones like ours) where there are fewer than 50 employees and often times little changes lead to big things, it is very easy to draw a line between actions and results.

Memphis Invest has earned a reputation among our clients and even our peers as a company that truly understands how investors want to calculate REAL value. Too often, investors are fooled into thinking that the value of real estate is the price you pay for it. I cannot tell you how often investors contact us after having bought "great property" right here in Memphis from a company located in a state like California or Nevada and they are having trouble getting it renovated and occupied. Their idea of great is the cheap price they paid for it. The reality is a 900 square foot 4 room shack located in an area that very few want to visit, much less do renovation work and management.
Many of the recent articles you read on the housing market seem to convey almost polar opposite messages.

Today, I am going to share a little wisdom I heard from a group of the best real estate investing minds I have ever met. When we met Fortune Builders a couple of years ago, they had already made a name for themselves as a premier property flipping company and had gained national notoriety as one of the hit companies on A&E T.V.'s "Flip This House". We were interested in having them speak to our investors about real estate in general and they were interested in seeing our operation up close. What resulted from that first meeting has been two of the absolute BEST companies in their respective fields teaming up to help investors around the world take advantage of this crazy real estate market.
I am continually amazed at the lack of understanding some businesses and business owners show when it comes to this one simple rule. It seems that today, many in business confuse complication with innovation!
