I would love to be strategic, looking at it through the lens of a long-term investment and not just a place to live that I might later rent out.I buy a modest single-family 3/2 (on a conventional 15-year fixed), DIY rehab it while occupying, usually house-hacking via roommate(s).

Location and walkability will matter especially for anything close to downtown KC, the Plaza, or Westport areas--- as home values can change $50K-100K within a few blocks of certain areas---- though any reputable appraiser will consider the best "apples to apples" comps and weight them based on proximity to the subject property.If you are using private money, hard money, or other investment type loans, some of those private appraisers may look at the property through a more similar lens as an investor--- and focus more on the income potential of the property.I hope this helps!

I personally look through the lens of time instead of returns now.
