⚠️ You can actually cruise these — next family visit, run them like the Detroit loop and score blocks in the scorecard. ARVs are neighborhood-anchored estimates, not appraisals. Memphis note: property taxes are gentler than Detroit's, and Section 8 FMRs are strong relative to these prices.

Market context (pulled Jul 7)

Memphis: 3,153 active · median list ~$175K ($124/sqft, down 14% YoY — a softening market favors buyers) · ~64–66 DOM. Geography cheat sheet: Frayser (38127) + Orange Mound (38114) = deepest value-add inventory with active flip comps; Whitehaven (38116) + Westwood (38109) = steady Section 8 rental grids; VECA/Klondike (38107) = the appreciation edge near Crosstown. Memphis 3BR FMR ~$1,300–1,500 — rents rival Detroit's on cheaper taxes. Note: TN licensing not needed to OWN rentals here; you'd finance as the investor, not the LO.
