Currently the concept of opportunity zones is gaining momentum so also curious about how that plays into the general strategy of avoiding "war zones".

Cash- Same concept 150k turn key and making Dave Ramsey proud.

Safety - Learn about Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and employ the concepts at your property.

Basic flipping, holding, and BRRRR strategies are just that...basic...and, some of the weakest ways to invest.3 - You need to learn the differences between some common terms/concepts, and how to apply them to REI. 

One silver lining for the future here maybe a few years from now is the Capital Journal had an article about a large property owner that filed bankruptcy a few years ago and his properties are finally working their way through the system - I didnt realize how many properties the guy owned - so maybe once they are in the hands of new investors things will change for the better - Wichita had a similar experience with the Minnesota Guys and what they did to downtown Wichita - really put a damper on any momentum for the city for 10-15 years.Topeka has just too many methheads and crime here, I'd think with better development and redevelopment some of that can be thinned out - Wichita has it's fair share but the way Topeka developed and lack of any forethought blows my mind - I think too many politicians were getting their pockets lined over the years - City should be far nicer for having property taxes that are far more expensive than Wichita and sales tax almost 2cents higher etc. 

Payments are based on a mortgage concept where I am the mortgage holder in first position, sales price of $45,000 against which your deposit is applied, 5% interest for an amortized term of 15 years and a 5 year balloon.

BRRRR is an awesome concept/strategy but I think it’s much easier said than done.
