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.

This will cost anywhere from 650 - 750 and it can kill your deal. 

Always calculate the cost of failure.  

You need to include how much it would cost you to live somewhere else in your figures.

It costs less than $200 to file an LLC in WY. 

Airbnb stepped in to mediate, paid me my rug replacement costs, and took the bad review down.

I can see the cost to entry being a positive one but I am looking to weighing all the options and scenarios.

Are costs really lower with a container? 

No one is going to allow that and construction-wise, it is usually not cost-feasible for the output rent on such a large property.

I am happy with the cost and what it provides. its not a completely "set and forget".
