Dan, thanks so much for the response. I am looking for single family, relatively low risk if possible, and steady cashflow. Looking to buy and hold for a good period of time. I have looked at KCK, KCMO, Spring Hill and OP near where we live and they are obviously all very different.in an ideal world we would buy a house that is on the low end of cost and needs some work, primarily aesthetics, that we can handle. Rent it out within 2-3 months and have steady cashflow that would help buy number 2. Would love something in the south Johnson County/ OP area but feel everything is too expensive.Many of the other areas are appealing but I just dont know how to take that first plunge.I am definitely not looking to make a fortune off the bat, more an opportunity to build some equity and learn more about the business. What parts of town do you the best opportunities in? It looks like the rental rates in KCK are very strong for such relatively cheap properties. I am all ears if you have any suggestions. Thank you!
