I ask in part because I have a duplex in the heart of Kansas City that is undergoing improvements and will then be rented and listed for sale, and in part because I am fascinated with the turn key business.

heart warming.well done @Evans Wright

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Where is the line between a money hungry investor and a landlord with a heart.

Bless your heart.

Also just so you know FHA is pretty strict about you not buying a slum with their money so expect to have some heart burn if there's chipping paint or unlivable conditions. 

I am not trying to discourage you, indeed, I want you to succeed, it is important to know though that this is definitely not for the faint of heart~James

So I'm speaking from the heart, not a book I read.

I think I was trying to rewind or fastforward it and added a few hearts.  

While I'm not some bleeding heart, empathetic push over, I do understand the bigger picture in dealing with the public.I know money and wealth, the most important thing I can leave with all of you on BP is that you will never really be successful without being ethical.
