Part One: Real Estate Investing Near Nike and Amazon’s Brand New Facilities
We discuss the kind of investments that we're seeing here in Memphis and what our investors are getting. You know, we're doing a lot of business in Raleigh and Whitehaven. They're older parts of town and they used to be their own cities back in the day, before they were eventually incorporated in Memphis. Most of the homes were built in the 50’s, 60's and 70’s. A lot of 3/1s, 3/2s - brick or traditional foundation. But what's really kicked Raleigh off is Nike having built a huge facility, and
Amazon has built one of its largest distribution centers in this part of the country.  In Raleigh, and between the two of them, as they are right next door to each other, they take up almost a an entire mile of real estate and probably employ a couple thousand employees. That’s now created this surge of people moving in with a market share of 47% for people inside the city limits of Memphis that rent.

He described how he could feel someone watching him. But who was it? Glenn recounts his visit out to a property in Whitehaven that he was inspecting on behalf of an investor.

Part Three: Garrett's Take On Long Term Property Investments
Garrett is a 39 year old real estate investor from Reno, Nevada. Having investigated opportunities in Indianapolis, listened to many real estate podcasts on his daily commute, and after working at length with various real estate agents, he decided to call a few places in Memphis and do some phone interviews regarding property investment, real estate agents, and property management. He did some quick phone interviews to see if there's anybody who could help him out who has, “you know, kind of like-minded investment beliefs”, as Garrett said. After speaking with Aaron and Brett, his road as a long-distance investor was swift and, with the expertise and connections of they both brought, he was able to source and purchase two properties, work with local Memphis contractors to perform maintenance and upgrades, then find and place tenants in the properties.
