I have a duplex off Cilley and is solid blue collar neighborhood but on the edge of some junk.

for most of the meetups, groups, landlords and reia groups, we try to post them all (if they have a lot of members in our group or if their leaders are a part of our organization) on our calendarwww.MAREI.org - we only post a month at a time.WinVestors every wednesday at 9am so you can hit 2 more before the end of the year.MAREI meets on the 2nd Tuesday so the next meeting is in January.There is a Blue Springs Group I have heard of the Northland Group, but I don't know anyone with that group.There is a KCK Landlord Group, a Cass County Landlord Group, a JOCO Landlord Group and also a Eastern Jackson County REI Group that meets in Buckner.

I am not saying the place should be in bad exterior repair, or painted Smurf Blue; unless you are looking to rent to Smurfs.

None of my properties do, and the capital tied up in them continues to perform just fine.That said, it's more difficult to find a property locally where the free cash flow is better than, say, the dividend income thrown off by investing in a Blue Chip dividend mutual fund.If you're looking at small Multifamily properties locally and want a first pass "rule," I suggest using a GRM target of 12-14 as a first screen, assuming you're looking for a property that will throw off free cash flow with a 70% leveraged mortgage.If you want to more than basic long term buy it and hold it, you can do it.  

Their name will then appear in blue, like above.

Saratoga is pretty prime, so if you're  cash positive, I personally wouldn't want to sell what will be an appreciating blue chip asset long term. 

. $200 for a screen door at BigBox (Orange or Blue) and about 1-2hrs to install easy, cheesy. 

Is your base blue collar, white collar, etc.
