Based on my experience coaching investors with my husband, who was a realtor many years ago, I strongly advise that, regardless of whom you work with, you meet the team, conduct thorough market research, get an appraisal, schedule an inspection, and also arrange for a site visit.

The requirements are often difficult, if not impossible to achieve in conjunction with other site requirements such as the setbacks and required outdoor area.

That's not exactly an up and coming area -- I'd research who built them - can likely find that by going to the SG County Recorded Docs site or by seeing who pulled the permits during const -- Wichita has been on a duplex building boom -- look at the tax value -- They probably have that or less in it on the build - I also doubt they were built to be quality long term -- things such as the trim/cabinets etc -- they all look like the cheapest stuff a guy could buy - if the cabinets aren't oak and there is MDF or pine trim and pre-hung doors with engineered wood jams I'd run.  2-3 yrs ago for $180k -205 or so you could buy duplexes in Maize, Kechi, Valley center all day to builders that were selling them off to investors - not worth that in that area.

Unlike Robert K and many on this site, I judge a property based on total return.

We do land entitlement so we control all sites and tie them up until zoning is approved. we don't buy land that we can't entitle first

City-Data and Census.gov are solid resources, and sites like Rentometer can give you a good sense of rental prices.After that, I narrow it down to neighborhoods with strong fundamentals—good schools, low crime, and convenient amenities.

Quote from @Miguel Del Mazo: @Bonnie Low I went to check out MiniStays a while back, and it seems like a good site. 

Dependable routine maintenance is a part of this property with a full time team on site at the villa.
