Cash flow is your monthly profit from a rental property—what’s left after you’ve paid for everything: mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, management, and more. It’s the money you keep. Strong cash flow means your property is supporting itself and building your income at the same time. In cash flow–oriented markets like Memphis, investors often prioritize income over appreciation. Unlike home value, which goes up and down, cash flow is predictable and steady—and it’s what allows many real estate investors to become financially independent. Meridian’s properties are designed to produce immediate, reliable cash flow from day one.
