📉Yes, expired listings (listings that expired out of the MLS), were still quite high this month which can affect this number, but....What about pending (under contract in the MLS) homes this month?

With my mortgage eating half of my income, it sounds crazy to take a second one. 

As we can see the average retail investor is still quite negative.

I have quite a bit of knowledge on the KC/STR subject. 

@Justin Boyd just saw the location on this, I'm somewhat familiar with that market, we do quite a few retail deals in CLE and the surrounding areas, I'd be happy to give you an opinion on the site if its helpful.  

That eats up half of your equity position right off the bat.

Auctions are quite possibly the worst place to buy if you want to avoid repairs.

Never had a bad deal, always made quite a bit. 

While running a large group of small landlords in Philly, i have visibility into the full realm of challenges that new investors face - and some are quite overwhelming and totally unexpected because they jumped in without fully understanding what they jumped into. 

Gets quite a bit of use actually.
