When many property markets are strong either in price appreciation or cash flow, Memphis offers investment properties with both stable price appreciation and positive cash flow. Due to availability of investment properties for purchase in the $50,000-$60,000 range with rent potential of $1,000+ per month and price appreciation potential to $90,000, Memphis has become an attractive destination for property investors. With over 45% of the city’s population renting, the opportunity to keep an investment property occupied with a quality tenant remains high.
