I know that KC is pretty hot (what market isn't right now) but I've decided to take a scouting trip to get a feel for the city and network a bit.

Asking your agent will probably be your best way to get a pretty accurate property value.

While this is a pretty serious crime, people can change. 

@Connor Burke on paper those numbers look pretty good (assuming you're focusing on good cash flow), but have you considered things like the quality of the neighborhood.

Kansas-I believe it’s pretty landlord friendly for rentals but not for flips due on foreclosures due to one year redemption, higher prop taxes, better schools.

@Otis HumphreysReach out to @Jeff Brown   I spoke with him last week and he is pretty bullish on PR real estate. 

I'm a pretty new investor myself but if I were to give any thoughts I agree with @Thomas S.I would think Seattle area would command much higher rent than $1600 for 3/2.

A registered agent will cost you around $50 per year with cheap online registered agent service (you don't need anything fancy for that as the service of registered agent is pretty basic).

It's pretty much a stay-away area IMO.

MA will likely be  pretty limited in where you can  grow/dispense given every town seems to be adding zoning restrictions now.
