Wow, thank you so much for the feedback @Jack Ropp and @Andri Grullon  These comments have just solidified my recent thoughts of sticking with Kalamazoo for now. 

Goals can always change and as you said @Kase Knochenhauer, build your systems first and then those can be transitioned elsewhere.

Having said that, any recommendations for good GC's in Kalamazoo and or handymen?

Any thoughts on pros and cons on focusing on either Kalamazoo, MI or Grand Rapids, MI market.   Buy and hold or possible flips?  

A bit about my situation;

I grew up in Kalamazoo and have more connections in Kalamazoo but seem to be leaning towards GR only because of the population and growth.  I have no experience but have built some cash reserves and have the credit to qualify, also I travel for work and have my housing paid by my company witch adds another complexity.

Bit of a loaded question I suppose, any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

Pros;

Cons; of the markets?
