If you're looking for pure cashflow, you will suffer on appreciation and vice versa. 

So you should at least have a plan or know that you are in violation vice just getting blind sided and crying that no one told you.

Peter Gauthier aka Captain Pete is a very knowledgable guy who learned wholesaling under Steve Cook.

You get great appreciation, cash-on-cash returns lag...and vice versa.  

Different investors = different perspectives, so what might be a B neighborhood to another investor could be a C to you or vice versa based on your risk tolerance and desire/time available to deal with issues.  

You need to know the key people at the bank - like the President, Vice-President, and Chief Loan Officer.

When you're long one, you can be short the other and vice-versa.Best of luck on your investing journey!

Long term goal is very much similar to yalls as well I assume, which is to become financially free so I can spend time with my future children vice working all the time.

@Sara HodgeI never been to KC nor have I invested there, I would contact some of the local investors, turnkey providers, and realtors so they can give you a good idea if that city is better than another city. while we all can debate who's city has better cash flow which city has more or less appreciation, I would look for the best team that you can trust in each area and interview them and see if there business model fits yours and vice versa.Happy InvestingDerrick

Even with a good loan officer, you might piss them off if they think you are wasting their time vice you are trying to understand how lending works.When looking for lenders, the rates they quote you aren't really worth much in my opinion.
