Welcome to BiggerPockets.Way to put the gears in motion for getting into RE investing.

I've been working exclusively in rentals for the last few years but recently switched gears and thought this would be a great place to share information!

I am looking to kick my RE investing back into gear in 2024!

They aren't geared towards selling or making their owners rich -- they are geared towards breaking even on costs and providing tremendous value.If you're in the Baltimore area, I can definitely recommend a few. 

It’s my first rental so I just need something to get the gears going, but I’d also like to get a feel for property management.

When compared to bigger complexes in desirable neighborhoods, these properties could have a higher potential for cash flow.Examine Financing alternatives: Look into financing alternatives, such as FHA loans with low down payments, that are geared for first-time homebuyers or owner-occupants.

Awesome input, thanks @Chris Dawson and @Eric P.i know this thread is specifically geared towards the MO side, but are there good areas on the KS side that should be considered as well?
