That’s a great move—starting early with analyzing deals will put you in a strong position when you're ready to buy.Since you're open to other markets in the Southeast, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at Chattanooga.

Or you want to spent the time, effort, and money to try and self-source an off market deal here.  

I’m also using a 6% vacancy rate, which brings the net monthly cash flow to about $200 and a CoC return of 13.06%.Summary:I’ve created around $50k in equity (difference between ARV of $200k and total investment of $155k).I’ve got about $10k or $18,385 left in the deal (factoring in closing costs).The cash flow is healthy, and the CoC return is strong, especially as a first-time investor.Questions:Does anything look off or could I improve the numbers?

Not sure I care about this honestly as most people know there is a filter to change how things are ranked and use it.  

I've gotten to where if I don't know the caller, I don't answer.

Quote from @Angel Peng: Interested to know what you have decided.

//What is the rental market like in De Soto KS for renting property with a large home and pond//I am analyzing a deal on a property in De Soto KS. 20 + acres, newly renovated home, a pond, etc.Given the economy, De Soto KS location in relation to Kansas City, Lawrence, Lenexa, etc... does it seem likely that there are people who are willing to rent properties at a higher cost than something in the city?

Add to that there is currently a ban on foreign buyers in Canada (only a few exceptions and as far as I know they all involve living here).Capital gains taxes apparently used to be higher (before my time). 

I don't know if you'd find those people on Airbnb or VRBO from my experience - depends on area.

If he had quoted you 20% higher would you still have done the deal?
