Buy it right. Manage it right. One roof.
I'm a REALTOR and an expert in investment acquisitions and property management as well — I help you find rentals that actually cash-flow, then my team manages them. That alignment is rare, and it's your edge.
Memphis is still one of the best rental markets in the country in 2026. With national price growth basically flat and rates near 6.4%, cash flow matters more than appreciation — and cash flow is exactly where Memphis shines. Here's the part that makes working with me different: I'm an agent who also owns a property management company, so I'm invested in how your property performs for years, not just at closing.
Why Memphis, why now
- Affordable entry prices — cash-flowing rentals at a fraction of coastal-market cost.
- Steady tenant demand anchored by major employers like FedEx and St. Jude.
- Rent-to-price ratios that still produce real monthly cash flow, even at today's rates.
The problem with splitting buying and managing
When your agent only cares about the sale and a separate manager inherits the property later, nobody owns the full outcome. You can end up with a home that looked good on paper but rents poorly or bleeds maintenance dollars.
How buy-and-manage works
Define your goals
Cash flow targets, budget, financing, and how hands-off you want to be.
Target the right neighborhoods
I evaluate deals knowing what actually rents and manages cleanly — values and rents shift block by block here.
Underwrite honestly
Realistic rent, expenses, and cash flow at today's ~6.4% rates — before you commit.
Close, place, manage
The same team that helped you buy places the tenant and manages the property. Passive income, no headaches.
FAQ
Questions I hear all the time
Can you manage the rental after I buy it?
Yes — that's my specialty. My property management team handles tenant placement, rent collection, and maintenance so you own the asset without the day-to-day work.
Do the numbers still work with rates near 6.4%?
They can, especially in Memphis where prices are affordable and rents are strong. I underwrite conservatively so deals work at today's rates — if rates fall later, that's upside, not the plan.
What is a turnkey rental?
A property that's ready to rent and professionally managed, so you earn income without hands-on work. I help you buy the right one, and my team manages it after closing.
Why buy and manage with the same team?
It aligns everyone around your long-term returns and removes the gap between purchase and management. Few agents can do both — I can.
