I live in the midwest suburbs near Kansas City where prices are higher than the rest of Kansas but are nowhere near the levels of intensely high markets like in California.

But you can help yourself by doing some intense screening of your potential tenants like using a website like Zumper that screens credit, criminal, and eviction history for you and they charge the tenants the fee, not you.

One of the problems with buying real estate is that it is very capital intensive.

This means cheaper credit to purchase homes and maybe lower intensive to rent.3.

Properties like this usually trade at higher CAP rates as they are a bit more time intensive on the management side and not easily outsourced. 

I'm still a newbie dialing in my asset type to invest in but I can say with confidence after several months of intense learning I'm leaning towards non-residential commercial (likely NNN leases) or land + development.

There is nothing passive about it and on a comparative basis it doesn't compare to retail or other asset types that are less intensive to manage.So it all goes back to again how big of a headache does an investor want?

The carpet also got a 2nd intensive cleaning.

As a listing agent, I'm not sure any bank would really want you representing yourself to sell your house as a short sale because it's a very time consuming, labor intensive process.I hope that helps answer your question.

My intension is to use the BRRRR method but now I'm not too sure what this means for me?
