The property was in a great market but needed a full cosmetic rehab and basement finish to add a bedroom and increase resale value.

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.    

Over the years the only place I have lost money is the stock market.

I appreciate the encouragement—I'm excited to learn from and connect with investors in this community.Right now, I’m primarily focused on house hacking in the LA market, but I’m open to exploring out-of-state opportunities later in my career.

I usually just google "market name" airbnb or short term regulations.

The strategy may change, but every market can work.

It's not difficult to find tenants if the property is marketed correctly.

Market Demand: Buyers love move-in-ready homes, and flips are often the most attractive properties on the market.

It’s not a market where you can just buy blindly, but for investors willing to do their homework, it offers a strong mix of cash flow and appreciation.If you’re open to learning more, I’m happy to share some resources on how I’ve built my portfolio there.

I have a lot of good information on the KC multifamily market that I can send you.
