Is a $146K Memphis Turnkey Worth It for Investors?

Would you pay $146K for a Memphis turnkey rental in 2025? In this episode, we break down a real investor’s real-world experience buying three turnkey properties—one of which is in Frayser, a fast-changing Memphis neighborhood. This isn't just talk—we run the numbers on cash flow, dive deep into the 1% rule, and get into the weeds on rent estimates, Section 8 income, and real maintenance costs like termite treatments and insurance premiums. You'll get the hard truths behind turnkey real estate investing, why some upfront costs make financial sense, and how one couple built in smart risk mitigation while scaling their portfolio.
