When it comes to age and real estate, we often make quick assumptions.Older Investors: They’re seen as slow, set in their ways, and resistant to new technology.

It'll never be a ghost state, not with that weather.

Stain resistant and not so light it will show every spot.

Personally, I'd pick a tenant friendly state and choose states that don't have barriers to entry (insurance, financing, weather, etc).

Workers dont show up, supplies have shortgages, weather is never our friend lol, and patience (along with flexible but still reasonible planning) is key! 

I know Branson is known for golf and Table Rock Lake and people tend to snatch up those condos that come with the amenities but I feel like rentals would be limited to good weather only..there has to be a solid percentage of tourists that enjoy the shows and being in town as much as there are people that enjoy the lake and golfing.  

That's why it's not selling.In most markets, your Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO) to a seller should be no more than:        MAO = (70% * ARV) - Repairs - Wholesale_Fee        MAO = (0.7 * 290K) - 40K - Wholesale_Fee        MAO = 203K - 40K - Wholesale_Fee        MAO = 163K - Wholesale_Fee               - OR -        MAO + Wholesale_Fee = 163KSo, you'd need to get this under contract with the seller at under $163K to make any money at all as a wholesaler.At $200K you're NEVER going to get any interest from experienced rehabbers.This is also why you probably got no resistance or pushback from the seller.

in addition, smokers will say they will smoke outside but for a variety of reasons (bad weather, everyone else is inside, it is more comfortable inside, etc) end up smoking inside.  

We have physician clients that work in the suburbs that need to buy something close to their hospital in the case of bad weather or they need to be close to the hospital.

Your PMC may be taking the path of least resistance and unintentionally (hopefully not intentionally) taking advantage of you.When it comes to maintainenance, our company's mantra is, "maintain to the neighborhood"!
