Turnkey real estate investing may not always deliver the highest returns, but the right foundation and a vertically integrated approach can pave the way for sustainable success. In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Terry Kerr, President of Mid South Homebuyers, and Liz Nowlin, the company’s Director of Investor Relations. As the oldest turnkey provider in the U.S., operating in Memphis, Tennessee, and Little Rock, Arkansas, Mid South Homebuyers offers a proven model for investors looking to grow their portfolios with simplicity and efficiency.

Jonathan, Liz, and Terry dive into their experiences with turnkey real estate investing, starting with how Liz and Terry met and found their way into the industry. They discuss why real estate fundamentals remain steady, the importance of keeping tenants satisfied, and the advantages of offering slightly below-market rents. Liz and Terry highlight the vertically integrated model at Mid South Homebuyers, their commitment to maintaining properties, and their careful approach to sourcing deals. They also touch on shifts in the buyer pool, the value of their on-hand supply warehouse, and their decision to focus exclusively on the Memphis and Little Rock markets. Liz and Terry have created a model that sets their turnkey business apart by prioritizing tenant happiness.

During Jonathan, Liz, and Terry’s conversation, they delve further into:

  • Vertical integration and an exceptional experience for tenants and investors are key to Mid South Homebuyers’ success.
