I have checked with Wells Fargo where we bank they say they do not provide investment property loans.Thanks in advance.

Couple of questions.Are you from KC or just interested in investing there? 

If you buy multiple properties, you can spread out your risk and avoid putting too much pressure on a single investment.

@Daniel LangRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

If they’ve been around forever but only manage 50 doors, that’s a sign they aren’t growing for a reason.Good PMs are worth their weight in gold, but a bad one will wreck your investment.

Quote from @Mike Hansen: When out of state investing, how does one go about appealing their tax assessment?

You could structure the deal with seller financing to bridge the gap.Possible offer structure:-Purchase Price: $170K - closer to actual value-Down Payment: Low or zero down to conserve cash-Interest Rate: 3%-5% - or better yet, 0% if the seller will agree-Monthly Payments: Interest-only or deferred until the sale-Balloon Payment: Full payoff in two years when you sellIf he wants $200K, you can still make an offer of:-$170K purchase price + $30K as a second lien due at closing-Seller carries $170K at a low interest rateHe would feel closer to his number, but you still keep within reasonable investment limits.2.

What would you do in my shoes I don’t invest there so take this with a slight grain of salt but I’ve heard multiple stories of basically this exact scenario someone getting offered a big payday for something in Cumberland, rejecting it & always for some reason (house burned down, block got worse, sheetz decided they actually didn’t want someone’s land for a car wash after all) always selling for like 10-20k and regretting not selling. 

Hi @Bryce Cover,First, congratulations on your growing family and your successful real estate investment so far!

So...if you are going to be investing in real estate beyond one house, find a good banker.
