I’ve been running some numbers and the added really nicely.I am an out of state investor in Kansas City MO, and I am based in North Hollywood, CA.I look at couple properties in ZIP 64130 I heard it’s a C class area.I wanted to hear your thoughts about the numbers i put together and if you familiar with the area you can share some Pro and Cons.Thank you fir hanging out here ! 

Plus I use them to run the background and credit check as well. 

Once I return I have been thinking of  doing a 1031 Exchange to maybe get out of single family homes and into a property with multiple doors.  

HI Mary,There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

Nothing can ruin your day like finding out there's an easement for ingress and egress running through the middle of the property. 

homes don't seem to be in great shape and block by block homes all seems to run down. 

Right next door!

Run numbers on the last 30 days of rents, or comps. 

I have ideas of how to meet my goals and step my foot through the door of RE Investing but with my lack of experience I would be very grateful if there is anyone in my area (Lake Wylie, SC/ Charlotte, NC) with more experience and willing to sit down for 10-30 minutes with me and help me get over the fear factor of taking that first step, and help me feel comfortable to be able to take action and start the journey.

We do a lot of investing in Detroit but we do not purchase rentals below 75k there  they are so more likely to be  in war zones and get far less rent so the numbers dont work especially after you have had a water heater and furnace walk out the door a few times.
