About us
We are the Memphis chapter for the National Real Estate Investors Association.
Memphis Investors Group is a 501c6, non profit organization, that is led and run by volunteers. Why? because our mission is to provide education, networking and learning opportunities in to those interested in the various faces of real estate investing, NOT to sell you a property.
As part of a vibrant national network, we'll often bring national speakers to speak about the latest trends in RE to our group. Ironically, many of the so called "Turnkey Providers" around the country are from Memphis and had their humble beginnings right here with us since we first started in 2001! Many of our local speakers are legends in the making!
Our main events are the 2nd Thursday of each month, and provide workshops, of various topics, with certifications towards being a Preferred Housing Provider, each 2nd Saturday of the month.
Come see why we regularly are voted Memphis #1 Real Estate club!

MIG Monthly Meeting - Furnished Rentals - A Case Study
First Evangelical Church, 735 Ridge Lake Boulevard, Memphis, TN, US# MIG Monthly Meeting — Thursday, November 12, 2026
Furnished rentals are creating new opportunities for real estate investors, but success requires more than buying a property and putting furniture inside. From renovation decisions and furnishing costs to rental strategy and managing the numbers, every choice can affect your bottom line.
At our November MIG Monthly Meeting, Walter Jones will share a real-world case study that takes you inside the process of creating furnished rentals, including the decisions, challenges, and lessons that other investors can apply to their own businesses.## Furnished Rehabs — A Case Study
Presented by Walter Jones
What does it take to turn a property into a successful furnished rental? How do you decide which improvements are worth the investment, what furnishings to include, and how to position the property to attract the right tenants?
Walter will walk us through his experience with furnished rentals, sharing practical insights into the renovation process, investment decisions, and considerations that go into making this strategy work. Whether you are exploring furnished rentals for the first time or looking for ways to expand your existing portfolio, this session will give you ideas to evaluate and apply to your own deals.### What You'll Learn
