go to all the networking events you can. get around like minded individuals. read read read. always take in good information. then take action. best lessons are from action.

Welcome to BP - I'm sure you'll learn a lot here and connect with other individuals who have the same interests!

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.

There's a lot of people right now that don't qualify as you have pointed out so we will cut deals for longer lease terms for those individuals that do qualify.
