Affordable relative to the rest of the US so great place to work remote or just enjoy a reasonable life without being hugely cost burdened Cons: A lot of older than 1980s construction (you 100% can be successful with these properties just have more to check during due diligence) Need to be mindful of market rents in the area and not overspend on renovations where there is not ROI to do so, you can’t usually exceed $2 sf on rental rates and average price per sf is 1.25-1.5 sf (neighborhood, unit type, and finish level specific).KC is not a boom and bust market, you don’t get the high highs or the low lows.

I enjoy the quantitative side of it all.

Thank you @Dave Foster I look forward to my new venture and investing in real estate hoping to achieve financial freedom and enjoy my life with my kids and my beautiful wife that has a terrible debilitating autoimmune disease.

It is offered through Awesome REI-Patrick Riddle(another awesome team and distant Mentor of mind) I enjoy their style of teaching because of their honest, straight-forward, and experienced no fluff.

Overall, you might find that you enjoy property managing. 

Consider the family who’ll eventually live there..maybe they’ll appreciate a second-floor deck accessible from a common hallway, where everyone can enjoy it, rather than limiting it to a single bedroom.

I know not typical on here to have such a little amount in loans but we enjoy great cash flow that we live on, have lots of flexibility in what we can do and have no concern about making payments if the economy were to take a dump.

I enjoy helping Bigger Pockets members and teahing all the loopholes I have found out over the last 18+ years!

I enjoy helping investors and other BP members avoid this very thing you just suffered. 

However, though I don't know the actual numbers it seems like the home would offer so many more amenities I would enjoy as well.
