My concern is that both have very small populations and are geographically isolated from Kansas City.

Lastly, I would stay within a STR city that is primarily driven by tourist income rather than an isolated small town that would be equipped with local laws limiting your STR rental ability. 

Jacksonville like many other cities has some higher crime areas and are not isolated by zip codes more so than neighborhood.

By installing submeters you'll be able to identify and isolate leaks quicker and easier.

I solely work on the dispo side of my company, it took me a while to build a strong buyers list but it has absolutely been paying off!

The riots were an isolated incident.

I definitely recommend chasing the numbers and not being isolated to your local competitive market.

This is obviously not a problem isolated to CO, but 2020 has been a historically unprecedented season.That being said, people have lots of reasons to move and varying perspectives: Colorado Springs had a really bad fire a few years ago that encroached on the city and look at it's growth now. 

There is an isolated, Manufactured Home Community on the Southern side, just across on Hwy 301 with a like new, 3/2 Manufactured home with big garage for $150,000.

Obviously will be paying cash for these homes.For the reference I am married living in Texas, l created a trust while ago, I solely control the trust, there are currently no homes deeded to this trust, am asking because I realize when people buy homes through lender/normal process, both spouses need to be on the title/deed (unless one spouse signs quit claim, etc.).
