I would only do this if you can find a quality property manager.

In Nancy’s opinion, this care model, combined with the social capital of a cohousing community when properly supported with trained staff can result in quality care.

Getting it under market value would be a bonus.So, would using an FHA 203k renovation loan, which would allow me to buy something unqualified for a standard mortgage, which would weed out a lot of competition and push the price lower.

To determine the quality of a property requires to evaluate all of its return as well as potential return.  

We help our clients:1) Find a fixer-upper to buy2) We get bids3) Negotiate a Scope Of Work with the owner using "Maintain to the Neighborhood" to avoid over-improving, but understanding we will have to pass city Rental Inspection to avoid being a slumlord.4) Provide multiple jobsite videos to show progress and document WHAT was done and the QUALITY.5) Handle passing city Rental Inspection6) Find a tenant with a Replacement Guarantee per Class7) Assist with refinance, so client can repeatSo, why you looking OOS again?

So I was just wondering if its the industry standard for that type of purchase.

These sorts of shot-crete build homes are more standard than a bale or mud home but are still not standard like a stick built home.Geodesic domes are cool but harder to sell than a standard home.

All those states' metros are going to have a relatively tough time "cash flowing" with minimum down and standard LTR.  

I am interested in hearing about your experience traversing the 'green standards' new construction and permitting process in KCMO proper.

It's about having an income that will enable you to maintain your current standard of living for life.
