Episode 48: Turnkey Investing with Mid South Home Buyers


Listen Later

In this episode, Nate Carver meets with Terry Kerr and Matthew Vanhorn from Mid South Home Buyers, the pioneers of the turnkey single-family real estate investment model.

Terry shares how a fixer-upper for his young family in 2002 grew into a company that has bought, renovated, sold, and managed more than 5,700 homes across Tennessee, Arkansas, and now Texas.

Matthew, a 14-year veteran who helped scale their property management division from 215 to 5,800 homes, explains how vertical integration, an in-house warehouse operation, and a resident-focused approach drive investor returns.

Together, they discuss:

  • How Mid South built a truly turnkey system—from renovation to property management.
  • The power of cash-flow markets like Memphis and Little Rock.
  • Their expansion into Dallas–Fort Worth and why Texas remains a growth powerhouse.
  • Financing insights on DSCR loans, 1031 exchanges, and owner-occupant starter strategies.
  • Why strong management can turn an average property into a great investment.

Terry and Matthew also share inspiring investor stories—including a 19-year-old who purchased his first investment home through their program—and invite listeners to join one of their monthly investor tours.
