Are you a hands on landlord, or would you prefer to avoid weekend maintenance calls or monthly rental income and expense management? 

When it takes them a month to get to the point we are now, included pulling my credit and then pull this, it appears their forcing my hand.

After listening to the podcast and reading as many books as I can get my hands on, I'm taking Brandon and Josh's advice (which is always awesome coming from them) to analyze deals in my area to get a sense of the market and what constitutes as a great deal. 

I am deliberating two possible scenarios for myself in the future to continue down the path of working for my self and family as well as investing.Scenario:80k-100k cash on hand not in a rushOption 1 potentially:Find a older duplex 30-40k for cash with a higher estimated arv than the projected rehab, rehab property, rent, refinance.

@Andrew Syrios - If you have a home that experienced a situation like that in KC, I can probably narrow down the location to a handful of Zip-Codes.

I’m trying to keep the money on hand without having to roll the whole amount into another house I don’t know if I’m reading into it wrong but I’ve read that if you are married and you sell you’re home for less than $250,000 you don’t have to pay taxes?

I have not yet seriously considered turnkey as I'd like to be a little more hands on (at the risk of taking on more trouble). 

I also have a degree in facilities management and would love to help anyone (locally) who needs a hand.

He called in sick several times but finally did about 7 hours work then hands me a receipt for his new work gloves.

Based on the first hand advice I read it sounds like a potential nightmare scenario.
