You don’t get CA level appreciation in Kansas City.Some areas are high crime so need make sure you understand the neighborhood you are investing in, like any city all locations are not equal.Very car centric city, mass transit is not widely used, people don’t walk, they drive outside of a few very walkable locations in heart of the city. 

Not sure if it's worth it to gain the extra appreciation while also having to manage multiple properties that are a bit of a drive away and have unknown maintenance requirements.

And then drive and determination and money set aside to live on while you ramp up.

Will be down in Clearwater Beach next month for a few days and planning on driving some neighborhoods in Pinellas County.

I had them drive past and refuse to stop even when a concrete truck was on the way.

I drive 6 hours to get to Coeur d'Alene then another hour downlake to our house.

One thing I'm trying to do is to test different cover photos to see which ones draw a greater % of click-thrus (which seems like a reasonable thing to test).I'd like to be able to view the Airbnb stats to see, for each cover photo I test, things like what % of people click through on it.

If you don't learn to manage your investment well, you will eventually destroy your property, lose money, waste your time, or drive yourself insane.

Thanks for advice especially driving by night!

I recall reading in Forbes that major foundation fixes can add surprising value, becuase it addresses the single biggest fear buyers have.. a shaky structure.From my three decades in fix-and-flips, Ive noticed how important it is to have a team you trust.. from attorneys who know probate deals to realtors willing to drive for dollars with you, scouting hidden gems.
