Thanks @Clay Boykin !

Hey @Clay Massey go ahead and PM me and I would be more than happy to give you an example proforma. 

I asked my partner @Clay Reddick which would be better, to buy the property or the business?

Clay, I generally budget $100/sq ft for a full gut rehab on a single family.

I would make this analysisA - Hoover, Mnt Brook, Homewood, Pelham Trussville, Alabaster B - Clay, Pinson, Centerpoint, Pleasant Grove, Leeds, Moody, South pointC- Tarrant, Inglenook, Eastlake, Birmingham, Norwood, D - Ensley, West End, Titusville, Midfield, Fairfield,F - I don't personally have any F area, I think there are good streets in every area if you are a out of state investor I would avoid anything below a B, as you can get sold a house on a bad block and overpay 

My family and I just moved to the clay county area and are looking to get into the market as well.

You should take one tablet at least half an hour before you plan to have sex.

@Austin Petrie, I would recommend areas in Clay or Platte counties which are located north of downtown Kansas City. 

If we're talking concrete or clay pipe there should be breaks and wear in it simply from old age, water wear, ground shift, freeze/unfreeze.

Clay Smith does a good job
