Surveys performed by companies such as "Global Insight" and "National City Corp" show that in Memphis TN, 28% of the homes are priced low compared to the average family income in the city (the U.S. national average is 20%). More young families in Memphis are choosing to rent single family homes instead of buying. This raises the demand for rentals (48% vs the national average of 28%) and subsequently increases rent rates, something that has a direct positive impact on the returns for investors in rental properties. Homes in good neighborhoods are being snatched up by renters and property management companies have the privilege of filtering the demand and accepting only qualified tenants.
