Strong Demand for New Construction
Looking at appreciation comparisons by metro area, the higher appreciation in Memphis supports the belief that people are moving out of big cities and into secondary markets and into suburban single-family rental homes. Home builders continue to keep up with demand at an increasing rate and build-to-rent developments are expected to grow across the country.

Comparable Rent Ratios
Memphis holds a strong economic base with a number Fortune 500 companies, is affordable in terms of wages and cost of housing, has a low vacancy rate, low maintenance due to non-extreme weather conditions, has very good rent ratios on properties and very competitive cost points.
Highest Risk-Adjusted Returns
Meridian Pacific Properties specializes in high yield, Class A single-family property investments for wealth building and retirement planning. Residential real estate is one of the most stable investments and can generate the highest overall returns. We streamline our vertical for maximum efficiency and for investors who are risk averse. We combine strategies that allows investors to create a balanced portfolio while being properly leveraged across the risks associated with real estate investing. Building a portfolio with a mix of these strategies allows an investor to capitalize on each market segment’s benefits while leveraging the portfolio’s risks associated with vacancy, maintenance, market fluctuations, and liquidity.
Stronger Home Appreciation
The lack of inventory plus rising home prices in the current buying market across the country is enough reason to keep renters from becoming homebuyers, giving rental homes more value. While home prices and appreciation in Memphis increased in 2020, the Memphis market is still considered to be very affordable. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported in the graph here that the Memphis market remains undervalued, despite the uptick in prices, and continues to make for an ideal environment for real estate investing. The NAR also showed that home price appreciation in Memphis was up 20.5 percent versus the national average of 14.9 percent year-over-year.
Attracts Better Quality Tenants
Our property management company also holds a very strict screening process because we want to find the best tenants. Meridian Property Management only accept about 50 percent of applicants, which is far fewer than other property management companies struggling to fill vacancies. Once we find a great tenant, we go over the rental agreement in detail. We explain exactly what maintenance services are covered by the homeowner, and what we expect from our tenants. We also hold our tenants responsible for any damage done to the property and will strictly enforce our rental agreements.
Strategic Locations
Our drive to build high-yield residential investment properties in well-located, high-demand neighborhoods becomes an attractive option for Meridian Pacific Property investors looking to grow their portfolios. We build and develops in lower property tax states. In Memphis, specifically, the county has rates between 0.6% – 1.6% with modestly priced insurance which can provide a stronger return of investment (ROI).
