@Lain McCanless If you decide to look in Kansas City, Missouri, let me know.  Kansas City has been a strong rental market for years.  Taxes are modest, rents are in alignment with home appreciation.  Lots to love in KC!

I have bought, sold and rented a lot of real estate in Dayton and Cincinnati although my primary market has always been Kansas City.  I do LOVE the Ohio markets because tenants are long term and overall not a lot of issues with them.  The downside is the TAXES!  They constantly are rising...  

I can speak for my turnkey properties that although I am a licensed real estate agent, all of my properties are purchased directly from the seller (myself) and no agents are involved.  If you used a company that does not actually own the property, I still don't think they will act as your "agent" but more your "advisor" 

Taxes are pretty high but if the numbers make sense, go for it!

@Adam Wells  I'd be happy to help you navigate Kansas City market if you have interest there.  I am boots on the ground in KC which is something my clients really appreciate!  

MO side is usually friendlier when it comes to landlord - tenant laws.  Plus the taxes are lower. However, I am getting to know Wyandotte County in KS and there's a lot of upside there!  

It's totally possible to build your wealth through owning rental properties.  Out of state is usually the better option.  Unlike stocks or REITs, real estate has major tax advantages, cash flow opportunities, equity opportunities.  Real estate is a lot less risky and a lot more tangible! 

@Adam Wells You should expand your research on turnkey companies.  There are companies out there that are direct to the seller and boots on the ground, rather than a company who is not boots on the ground.  You'll receive better pricing and return on investment overall. 

@Brendon Pishny I'm in KC flipping as well.  I dabble in the KS side but of course the capital outlay is usually more.  I do plan to start investing heavily in Wyandotte. 

Kansas City has seen tons of appreciation both for home prices and rents. Overall the taxes are low and theres plenty of neighborhoods that justify a great ROI. The market is getting very competitive! If you do anything from out of state, be sure to team up with local market experts!
