If you are limited to those areas for residency, and you choose to keep that job, you are going to have to either a) wait for a couple years and save up a heftier down-payment, b) change your strategy like you said and go for houses further away (do flips, STR or BRRR).Or, if you are sold on the house-hack concept, at some point you might have to look at a different job that allows you to move where house-hacking will work....

There is a lot to choose from out there so I am hoping to see what others have enjoy the most.

Hi BP, would like to hear feedback from all you folks in or near the Kansas City area,Currently I'm looking for a software to help me generate leads, but there's so many of them to choose from, I don't know which is best suited for my area.

There are many duplexes and multi-family existing housing available to choose from. 

If you're not set on a specific market, it's worth waiting until you choose, as forming the LLC in your target state can simplify compliance, property registration, and taxes. 

This is an obvious fair housing law violation because you are choosing which prospect get the concession.

If you had good credit (670-730 range), you have 20% to make a down payment, and sufficient income to qualify for the home you want to purchase - Would you choose the FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER or CONVENTIONAL purchase option...which would you pick and WHY?

Save them all..if you ever decide to do a campaign of your own, you will have good examples to choose from.

@Sherry TsaiIf you choose to self manage, it would be the one closest to where you live.

I would choose the option I'm most excited about and can get behind!
