I'm looking to expand into more desirable markets, preferably Rogers/Bentonville/Fayettville or Kansas City Metro.

Welcome to the city. 

If there are drug dealers and prostitutes they're doing a damn good job at hiding it.Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of discrepancy with the city appraised valuation.

@Shaun R.Your lease should also include references to your county and city ordinances not just your HOA.I love dogs too but I was force to give a tenant a 30 day fix or evict.

Sounds like you've found yourself a great deal, and it's right on the outskirts of the city!

Having lived in Seattle from 2010-2016, it was crazy to watch the city rage firsthand when our dreams as back-to-back SB champs were dashed on the one. 

Charlotte is a big city, rent to price ratios are generally less lucrative in cities and moreso in rural areas.The profitability rules for real estate don't work everywhere.

My research shows that a 20% down payment in CNY will likely range from $15K-$30, which are within my means.My tentative plan is to invest in property in the Central/Western New York (Syracuse, Buffalo) area.

I don't think alta has housing.. but park city does

If you know about it, (or should have known) and don't take action, if/when tenant is busted, you are subject to having the property condemned/closed for a period of time by the city.
