Having both licenses, opened my eyes to both worlds.

It’s always interesting to see how people’s backgrounds play into their investing strategies.What kind of multifamily properties are you eyeing right now?

@Chris Magistrado if she knows what she's doing and consistently keeps a sharp eye on what's going on it's possible.Should have local "inspector" that can verify what's done and how well, before paying contractors.

i understand a true duplex might be a lot more expensive, but i think it's at least worth continuing to research and keeping an eye on.and sticking to my original point, OOS can be tough. 

If you're new to investing, keeping an eye on property taxes and HOA fees in this area is also key. 

These are the three zipcode that I am eyeing on right now : 73128, 73170 and 73135(I think this is near the AFB).  

And as someone that grew up in Missouri, this post caught my eye, particularly because I'd never heard of Lebanon, MO so I had to look it up on Google Maps.

There’s huge retal income potential if you nail that balance between improvements that wow tenants and improvements that merely look fancy but don’t justify higher rents.I’d also keep an eye on how your high end plan fits the local demand.

Screening and placing a tenant, they know local rules, they have eyes that can see the property and know what is going on there.

Also, keeping an eye on zoning changes or upcoming developments can help you get ahead of the curve.Would love to hear more about your experiences too—what areas are you currently focusing on?
