@Drew Poniewaz  I just mentioned a range of reasons why zillow and craigslist delete seller financing ads. 

Quote from @Alex Evans: Memphis is a great city to invest in for all 3 reasons that you are asking about! 

Posted twice for some reason.  

I would ask the insurance company for more documentation on the reasoning. 

A couple other neighborhoods I like besides the two you mentioned are Washington Park, Hyde Park, Woodlawn, and South Shore.I think that area will continue to be gentrified because you have the lakefront as well as CTA trains.Is there any reason you are targeting Chicago instead ofdoubling down in Kansas City?

My goals are to start building an investment portfolio of professionally managed (I could tell you all the reasons I will not do it myself) multi-family properties and, in time, develop a property in the Northwoods (Wisconsin/UP).

The ONLY reasonable deals are:Appliances when purchased if you have a retailer that offers unlimited repairs/replacement for 5 years for 10% of price.

At the time, they said they were paying back loans in 6-8 months at the most, so I felt like that was reasonable.

If I live a busy life and don't have the time or care to invest on my own, but want to put, lets say $200k to work, is a 15% cash flow return reasonable? 

Throughout the year I come across situations where people need to sell there home due to a variety or reasons, job loss, income loss, health, divorce, etc.
