Overland Park, KS vs Kansas City, MO) Very landlord friendly, worst case eviction is usually 8 weeks + $500 + lost rent (cannot comment on individual cases and this is not legal advice) Large diverse metro area - variety of jobs, companies, people can have a career in KC.

I looked at numerous live-in flip opportunities.

I have partnered with individuals on fix and flips but my goal for 2025 is to buy my first LTR.

Hello @Tove Fox,You are not investing in a state, you will invest in an individual city.

You've got to remember the home has already been through numerous inspections prior to delivery, so the time it takes to finish is minimal.  

I think that gets lost VERY quickly with certain individuals.

Can anyone verify this is OK or is it state by state-regulated based on their individual jurisdiction?  

I work with numerous out of state investors that want to purchase here in Cincinnati and expand their portfolio.

At the end of the day, both of these respective vendors/individuals are paid when the deal closes.
