So I looked at some local markets like Sacramento where I'm from and familiar with the neighborhoods but the cashflow would be so negative that I'd be paying out of pocket every month.Now I'm more inclined to buy a single family in KC as it seems the rates won't drop anytime soon so would like to get in the investment game sooner than later and hope for a rate drop in few years to refinance.I have been looking on Zillow, and recently connected to an agent to run numbers and seems I could make about $100-$300 after mortgage payment and insurance.

How many calls do you think they get for someone who is going to "buy 10 houses this year and wants to build a team?"

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.
