Starting with a single-family home in Kansas City is a smart move, and it sounds like you’re really digging into the numbers, which is super important for making informed decisions.From what you’ve shared, your offer of $140,000 with an 8% interest rate and a 20% down payment seems like a solid starting point.

These areas tend to attract high-quality tenants and provide consistent passive income, which is a great foundation for building your portfolio.If you’d like, I’d be happy to share some insights about these types of markets and why they’re appealing to investors.

@Leslie L Meneus, while the forums can be pretty good, in-person networking and sharing ideas is much more valuable.
