I've been a long-time watcher from the sidelines, and I'm finally ready to start making some real estate investments in South Florida.

I'm a beginner and I'm looking for tips on how to perform a proper market analysis on houses to buy and hold long term and rent out.Right now I'm looking through all the MLS websites and finding properties in locations and within my price range.

We are not currently under any sort of contract and we just found this thread through a google search on Lendbase.We are currently working on a construction loan to develop some residential lots, assumed the Mortgage Broker would be on the up and up... had some sales-ey call with a guy out of Utah.

Since there are technically 2 cities called Kansas City and they are located in different states (with different laws and building codes), it's very important to distinguish between the two, local referred to as KCMO and KCK.So, a long way to ask, are you interested in real estate in KCMO or KCK to start?

I’ve found that consistency and authenticity not only build long-term relationships but also open doors for lead generation.

This tied up the property in a legal battle between the seller, buyer, and lender for a long time and cost the seller $200-$250K in damages.
