There are some locations to stay away from but almost every single sub market of KC has value and increasing rents.

Generally, there are some programs for foreign nationals that are 25% for a single family rental and 30% for a 2-4 unit.  

Found out today the sewer line is in need of repair.This is an OLD single wide trailer.

Purchase price: $75,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Sale price: $120,000 This is a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom single family detached house is South Georgia.

If I would have bought a sustained portfolio with multiple units rather than starting with a single purchase I truly believe I would have lost a lot of money while my systems flailed rapidly attempting to catch up. 

Single family usually doesn't make much sense from a rent/price ratio in A-B areas unless you are doing a rehab.

The cost of a sewer line is the same whether it is on a triplex or a single family home, but with a MFU you can spread the risk.

Anything single family will require very creative strategies in order to generate cashflow. 

Remember, not every single decision in your life has to make financial sense.

I'm the single breadwinner for my family (2 kids) so I don't know if I'd have the time and energy to both run this rental and manage my work so I can reach the income level to handle the bigger mortgage comfortably.I feel like this chance for us to have a rental property with positive cash flow won't come often so I really want to explore it.
