Memphis Property Management Company | By the Numbers!

By Chris Clothier on Wed, Mar 11, 2015

Premier Property Management Group Continues To Impress

Premier Property Management of Memphis and PPMG of Texas have both been seeing this same trend their management portfolios since the4th quarter.  A rise in rental rates over-all, a rise in demand for our services and a decline in vacancies.  Each city have seen increases in lease extensions coupled with fewer monthly move-outs.  We cannot say for sure that these trends are company specific or if they are related to the cities themselves as there is very little published data. 

What we can say is that an increased focus on staff, training and service to tenants has absolutely paid off.  We continue to have the outlier properties that take  a little longer to rent for no rhyme nor reason and we continue to turn down un-qualified applicants only to have them complain.  However, both scenarios continue to occur on a decreasing scale and happy, satisfied tenants continue to extend leases at an increasing rate.

Over-all, we are thrilled with the job our teams in Memphis and Dallas are doing!  Here is a quick breakdown of some key numbers:

Self Directed IRA Investing | Memphis Real Estate Makes Sense!

By Chris Clothier on Wed, Dec 15, 2010

I talk to real estate investors every single week who are interested in investing in Memphis real estate with MemphisInvest.com for a lot of different reasons.  Some of the most interesting investors I talk to though, are those who are highly diversified in other markets.  They own stock portfolios or invest in Bonds and Mutual Funds.  They have spent years with financial planners preparing for a day that now seems in jeopardy:  Retirement!  Most of these investors are turning to a tool that their "advisors" failed to teach them about - Self Directed Retirement Accounts.  With the right real estate investments at all time values, the focus to investing in real estate with your retirement account could not have come at a better time.

Real Estate Investing | Diversify in Memphis

By Chris Clothier on Mon, Dec 13, 2010

It is funny sometimes to get the reactions of investors when they hear me talk about diversification in Memphis real estate because they are not used to hearing those terms come from real estate investing companies.  Maybe from professional stock brokers or stodgy old men in black suits discussing the economy in terms most of us would never use.  But in truth, diversification in your real estate portfolio is very important and can often mitigate the over all risk you take as an investor.
