Urban = Appreciation and moderate cash flow.Rural = Less appreciation and (possibly) better cash flow (IF you self manage!

But I drive around the valley a lot, and I'm telling you that the next wave of lower to moderately priced residential real estate to hit the market will be a tsunami.Livingston would be your best shot right now.

I live in Johnson County and currently have one investment (accidental) property in Minnesota, but have started to do my homework and looking in the moderate term (6 months or so) to invest in the KC metro.p.s.

Cottage Grove is perceived as moderate in household incomes but that isn't actually accurate.  

I will have guaranteed rent as it's my father which will be (moderately) cash flow positive.

i'd take this on if it was in my area. as long as the exterior walls are standing, i consider everything else moderate rehab. i can do it a lot cheaper, but i have experience. try to connect with some of the people in your area that do major projects and partner with them. sound like a cool flip.

Do you plan to rent to low income, moderate or higher income?
