So what would pueblo west be considered?

I have invested in the mid-west and have turned $20k into over many times over 7 figures.

Land lord tenant laws in most of California and Wa state are pretty similar to BC.If you plan on land lording on the west coast in Canada or the US you have to be prepared to travel if you want cash flow, as Theresa pointed out, and even then it will not be easy.

its all digital.. there are no abstractors per se on the west coast.  

Barry county (just to the west) does not currently have such restrictions but further from Branson.

Alex, I work with a ton of investors from both the east and west coast that invest in the Columbus market.

But they are well known in the brokerage community.that fee schedule is pretty much standard all across the mid west.. nothing jumps out at me.pay your own utl fee's and you save those or better yet have the tenants pay them.. the inspections have to be done one way or the other 50 bucks to do what they do is dirt cheap.mowing the lawns is going rate..so  pretty standard really.. usually they will have your authorization to spend more than a certain amount say 300 bucks.. and usually turn over or maintenance is marked up at least 15% over cost.I can tell you unless you have thousands of units no one is getting rich in the PM bizz.. not sure how many they have and maybe they have thousands of doors in that case they are probably doing quite well on the PM size.. anything at 500 and under is usually kind of break even for most. or just a wage frankly.

Many investors from California are investing in the mid-west because of the yearly cash returns making more sense in these lower priced markets.

My reason for being there is they were looking for mid west cash flow and of course I fund a lot of that in my day job.

I considered buying in the Panhandle area (Fort Walton Beach, West Panama City Beach, Navarre Beach) and talked to an agent about 18 months ago.
