It was promised to take 3 months to rehab, longer than Podcasting, but anyway.We were introduced to a property management company named Blue Sky opened by Clayton Morris and they took more than two months to send us the management agreement by the excuse of system issue, which delay us from realizing the problem.

@Larry Moore Jan and Larry Jordan run a meetup group in Blue Springs - they have a meeting Thursday Night - I think that is covering tax sales in Jackson County - their last email to me said that the list will be available Friday and you have to get it from a legal publication like the Daily Record or the Pulse Legal - these can get you probably the lists in Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass - and maybe St Louis - just note that St Louis County and Jackson County do not sell tax liens, but sell properties after 4 years of non-payment so their sales differ.Look for the Blue Springs Real Estate Investment Group on Meetup to get more info about this event to learn how Jackson County tax sales work.

I rent a small property in the Blue Ridge mountains, works out wonderfully.

In those years, I had tenants doing an adequate job, to ones where they don't get to mow till it's over 6 to 8 inches long and neighbors complain and threaten to call the town.I found tenants who take their mowing seriously are blue collar family types.

@Alex PresnellYou can go blue in the face and people on the outside of it never really get the benefits of the small landlord exception, especially for handyman investors.

Wayne, Westland, Livonia, and Redford are all blue-collar cities that are accessible to Detroit.

There are many predictions that blue collar and white collar are on the verge of a major flip and it’s just obvious by numbers.

When looking in the Kansas City area I would strongly suggest towns called Raytown, Independence, Blue Springs, North Kansas City (up and coming trendy area) and some areas within the City.

This a little southwest of Irvington.It looks like a blue collar area when driving around.Any concerns or cautions here?

CUTE and in good shape 3 BR Cape Cod (aka bungalow to Detroit folk)  I want to paint it a lovely colonial blue with white trim.
