Thanks guys I'll keep my fingers crossed.

We then plan to move out in a year and Airbnb all three, which for the area should be very lucrative.In the long run, we could remodel and force appreciation, fingers crossed and sell.

Develop a very good lead magnet for investors related to property management in exchange for email...run ads to promote the lead magnet on facebook or google adwords.. try one platform at a time.. give it sufficient budget but start low.. if you see traction ie. people downloading your lead magnet then increase budget... you might need to iterate through your process several times.. before you reach an acceptable cost per lead.

However, I don't want to end up homeless, or worse, land myself in jail because I didn't cross a t or dot an i.

Thanks to all for the great input, advice, and stories shared.I'm at a bit of a cross-roads.

Assuming you want use the equity to buy another property ask around at small local banks to see if they will cross-collateralize.

As reference I rent a duplex in midtown crossing (1900's build nice, but not updated) for between $900-$1000 a month for a two bedroom  (1500+ sq ft) 1 bath that includes a shared yard and off street parking.

Fingers crossed that one of these meetings tonight will be fruitful.As for the property itself, we have been out there several times over the last few months to clear out debris, trim trees, and cut grass.

With Pigtwon, I'm primarily talking about The North side of Washington and no further west than Cross Street (really though, Pobbleton).

I'm not aware of any KC accountants on BP, but there are many on BP that work with investors cross-country.
