I plan to spend about 6-12 months in a relatively inexpensive city (anywhere in California) that is close enough to a good real estate school. 

Prices in my city (Colorado Springs, CO) are extremely high.

In TN & KY (only states Ive dug in to) a commercial property under 5,000 sqft does not require architectural plans/stamps UNLESS the city ordinance requires them.

I just got a house under contract in a medium size city in Missouri.

Our offices are located in the Mill Hill section of the city, and we know the city very well.

And the TK model seems to be a good compromise.Just looked you up, Birmingham is on my short list of cities to diversify my portfolio.

I live in the Kansas City, KS area and I'm eager to learn and get started in this business.

I have used the BiggerPockets BRRRR analysis tool, but not sure if I have used the correct assumptions.Property:  1241 W CHew, Allentown City PA, 18102 (2-unit house)- listed for $73k- Offer: $40k- Closing cost: $9k- Repairs: $16k- ARV: $90k- Rent: $1,800 a month- Vacancy, Maintenance, CapEx: 10% each- Water and Sewer: $100 a month- Insurance: $100 a month- Property management: $180 a month- Property tax: $261 a monthThis leaves me $232 cash flow per month if I refinance it at $90k at 5% interest rate.

BP,Hurricane Matthew smacked my city of St.

Our houses both have city sized back yards.
