You'll need at least 125-150 doors to make a decent living, but you won't be able to afford much help. 

Diversifying geographically can also reduce risk and increase long-term returns.For example, there are several markets across the U.S. that are ideal for new investors because they offer affordable entry points, reliable cash flow, and strong economic fundamentals.

(Ironically, I'm sure a good portion of the people arguing against development are also upset with the government for not tackling the affordable housing issue.)If I were WIP and felt I just got cheated out of my right to develop that land, I would have put a fence around it. 

People who live in a slum do so because that is what they can afford.

I searched for homes based on the mortgage I could afford.

We don't have any significant storms, floods, earthquake, wild fire or hurricane risks, which keeps insurance cost affordable.

Affordable relative to the rest of the US so great place to work remote or just enjoy a reasonable life without being hugely cost burdened Cons: A lot of older than 1980s construction (you 100% can be successful with these properties just have more to check during due diligence) Need to be mindful of market rents in the area and not overspend on renovations where there is not ROI to do so, you can’t usually exceed $2 sf on rental rates and average price per sf is 1.25-1.5 sf (neighborhood, unit type, and finish level specific).KC is not a boom and bust market, you don’t get the high highs or the low lows.

We aren't the cheapest place but we are affordable for the size and I want to keep it that way.

BUY ALL YOU CAN AFFORD!
