I'm also growing a network of potential partners and investors, and will likely turn to them if that ceiling continues proving to be problematic - and will do so for larger properties even if I'm able to break through the ceiling on my own.

Kansas city is a great market to invest in - are you thinking smaller (1-4 units) or larger (5+ units) multifamily properties?

Might be a little bit confused here, but from what it sounds like you were involved in purchasing the property, renovating it and then selling it?

You need larger down payment: 15 to 25 percent down, depending on your profile and property type.

Given your focus on equity and scaling for future development, targeting properties where you can force appreciation through value add renovations seems like a natural fit.

So I think moving the lot lines so the house and 2nd lot can be sold separately or even developed and also doing a moderate level renovation could really increase the value of this property overall. 

There are lots of larger investor meetups around Charlotte I'd be happy to share!

A mobile home for 10-12K will likely have to be bought off market and it probably needs to be fully gutted / renovated.

In todays market it's hard to scale when you need to put 20-25% down with renovation. 

Then ended up completely renovating the home.
