I have done my due diligence and analyzed several properties in the Fort Leonard Wood (65584) area, that fit my criteria.

We have been fortunate, the demand has been there.We sub out laundry to a company, we have added dog parks, updated clubhouses, pools, fitness centers.  

I personally am looking at B and C houses in B neighborhoods.

@Tyler Smith I did this once, it was a good experience and I encourage people to give it a try if it's something that fits for them.

Make connections and get your name out in your neighborhood that you are a "real estate investor".

You can send over info to me as well and I can pass on to my boss if it's a fit.

Focus on nicer neighborhoods with good schools.

That beats VA in my eyes...but there are restrictions to neighborhoods or income, so doesn't work for everyone.

E.g. if this is in a quickly gentrifying neighborhood and your personal financial situation allows it, you could take a risk and underwrite it at a level where you are just-about breaking even with your mortgage +  operating expenses. 

Rentometer works pretty well in Wichita and the Trulia crime map will help you to learn good from bad neighborhoods.
