Tim,Kansas City is a great place for cash flowing assets...very stable market and an extremely high demand for quality rentals....Tim.

We're 70% surrounded by flood planes and the land that is build-able is going to be extremely tough to get from the farmers owning it, plus the 2+ years to get the city to build infrastructure to it.

I live in Crown Point and I know the market extremely well.

I'd been listening to the podcast for about 4 months or so, even started getting prequalified for a mortgage but never pulled the trigger.

While humorous, it's been problematic for me because it's made is extremely difficult to figure out what to do with my life.

Yes, that is one option.As for the best plan of action for you, only you can decide that.Understand and weigh the risks, and if you have done your due diligence and feel good about it, pull the trigger.

Before pulling any triggers, I'd really love to connect with an experienced investor in the area to show me the ropes.

I have been consuming knowledge for over a year, and it's time to finally pull the trigger!

There are over 100 municipalities in NJ that have some sort of rent control legislation so before you invest you should look to the city hall before you pull the trigger on a purchase.  

I'm now licensed, and am extremely wary of even accepting offers from agents in that national firm...
