Hello- I live in Springfield (just outside of Dayton) and have owned a handful of single family properties in Dayton over the past few years.

Also, does anyone have any input on Springfield as a market to invest in?

There may be lots of buyers for single family homes, but there are not many buyers for under 900 SF, 2/1, single family homes between the 800 and 1000 block of Houston Street, in the city of Springfield.

@Eric Munson thank you I will be buying in the Springfield MA area and now I actually feel more confident on buying the house plus I will be house hacking so it for a two family I won't have a cash flow but will be actually paying under 400 for expenses (utilities and rest of mortgage) Hoping To find a good triplex and how do you feel about renting rooms to college kids.

I'm just itching to get stared :o)I've been in the Kansas City area since 2000 (Peculiar is 45mins from downtown Kansas City), Springfield/Branson area before that, and East Cost as a kid.

I am targeting all of greater Dayton and Springfield.

My office is in Springfield, MA.

Oh - and be sure to set up some keyword alerts - especially for "Springfield" so you'll be notified when people mention it here in the forums.Thanks again for introducing yourself!

We might go down to the Eugene/Springfield area if we need to.

I just moved to Springfield MO recently for my job.
