And before you launch into KC, make sure to research the landlord/tenant laws as parts of the city are changing this year.  

My wife and I live in Chicago, Illinois, we live in a house we recently purchased and have one condominium that we currently renting out.

Many, many of us started with Rich Dad Poor Dad so that's definitely a good launching off point.The best financing terms you'll ever get will be for owner-occupied, so if you're able to do 3% down and the #s still work well enough, I usually do recommend the BRRRR strategy to new folks as the best way to get started.It sounds like you got some great experience in RI - the ability to do some renovations will be a big help if you get into rentals in any significant way.Networking is important, but the best advice I can give for that is, don't network with everyone.

Our property is steps from the beach in Wells ,Me.Our listings just launched ( 2 cottages on 1 parcel of land ) & we were very pleased with the price but are also very wary it might squeeze out potential renters. ( i believe we gave prior renters sticker-shock when we told them it was now available to rent online.

As it turns out, in real life, not lost inside some stupid appraisal theory book that provides unicorn examples, that the only time matched pairs analysis is possible to the degree that might be anything better than laughable, happens with property like a very large condominium complex where all the units are very similar to each other.

@Daniel Hayes since the Nashville market is on fire why not buy land & build new high rise condominiums/apartments.

My first investment in this area was a condominium, and it worked out well.

This property is my primary residence and it is condominium.

At a condominium, HOA fees typically cover the cost of a landscape service to weed, feed and mow the grass.Assessment fees can at times eat away at all your profits.

I plan on launching January 2021.
