Hi BiggerPockets team,I am a rookie US real estate investor searching for financing options for my first deal.Personal ProfileCitizenship: IsraeliI do not have US citizenship or a long-term visa.Investment GoalsLong-term rentals in good B/B+ locationsLow-maintenance propertiesKansas City, MO/KS, or its suburbsI am familiar with what https://lendai.us is offering, but I am trying to find other alternatives.Thank you!

Kansas city is a great market to invest in - are you thinking smaller (1-4 units) or larger (5+ units) multifamily properties?

I sent an email to the city and received a long response.

Stick built homes on city lots are going to be expensive. 

Thus, we are looking into the Johnson City-Elizabethton area or the Kingsport-Bristol area.

Overwhelmingly though, the weather and weather related things were enough to offset the negatives.So, I figure a much more interesting question would be Why do people live in New York City?

Then progress to permits and then building.You could also just do it and hope the city doesn't notice, which they probably won't.Your challenge will be getting Certificates of Compliance on the units!

Many Texas cities are incentivizing developers to build affordable housing units, but challenges remain around keeping these homes accessible long-term.

thank you for this, because locals always have the better pulse for the city than anyone else can or will. 

Where in North City did you buy this house?
