It's out of state for me but happens to be in the state where my mom is a realtor and is actually in her town. 

He is a rental property investor and manages his own rentals in another part of town.

That being said, I know the town I am in is a gold mine waiting to happen.

Garden City, KS and Dodge CIty KS have better development plans and are cleaner towns than here. 

I would love to join and explore the ins and outs of the dutch market and expand a portfolio by turning this niche into a full time job.

I’m exploring other fInancIng options at the moment.

In my market here in Austin, Tx depending on the house type, condition, and part of town I would say usually say Vacancy 7-8%, Repairs 8%, and CapEx 7-9%.

I use MLS for my local DFW market, but Propelio for their out-of-town (San Antonio and Houston) or out-of-state access (MO, FL).Andy

The towns database will be searchable and you can find out everything the assessors office knows. 

You spend your profits ONLY...and use(invest) your seed money to infinity...and beyond.hi Joe - i do not own any properties at this time, and flipping isn't for me (maybe for now, maybe i'll explore this in the future).what you said you wouldn't do is exactly what i would do; i need to start building a portfolio of rentals so i'd like to invest in one or two condos in the area at this time. my seed money would be my start up money. i'm not sure how to make a profit without it (spend money to make money concept here?)
