Pace Morby is the guy i look up to the most when it comes to creative financing, and i was wondering if i could meet up, or hop on the phone with somebody who knows the game pretty well to grab some advice. 

That is the lowest we’ve seen in several months and well below the ~8% peak seen back in October 2023.The Fed monetary policy and rate decisions remain the biggest single driver of the residential real estate market overall.

Recently I saw the duplex that is DIRECTLY across the street from my property come on the market, and I would love love love to jump on the opportunity to buy this property as well. 

I work full-time as a CPA audit manager at a Big 4 public accounting firm, and in my free time I would love to help and learn from an experienced investor with strategies similar to what I’m interested in (appreciation, single family (potential multi family), mid-term rental (potential short-term)).Open to any advice as well on how to make my first leap into actual investing!

If it's like here, multi-units are harder to come by and the numbers don't work as well.

I'm located in the KC market as well - this is the place to be!

If you have a well-documented paper trail of problems, it would be hard to contest a non-renewal.

I am new to RE investing & BP as well. 

A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

I'd also really appreciate any thoughts on choosing a big national bank vs. a smaller organization, as well as advice on how to filter through banking options to find a good fit.
