I just don't have the cash to be a player in the market right now.

The no interest could be nice if you carry a balance, 99% of the time we don't carry a balance over to the next month so doesn't make sense for us.Lowes is not really a player up here.  

It's best to network, find out who the players are, and get to know your local area.

I think automation of home building technology (many off-site 3D printing players, some on site automation tech for construction of tract homes) will be a real factor in the next 3 to 10 years that will be the primary/only saving grace to actually make housing more affordable (easiest way to meaningfully decrease build costs).

Thanks @ Suzanne Player!

I'm not saying these guys are not big players in the space, but I've never heard of them.Beware of people who just teach classes as their income.  

I am not certain how doable that is without understanding the market, players, and offerings for PM services in KC so that is one of the many items I am in the process of researching.Once I have done that I think I will have a better feel for what is feasible.Best,Patrick
