Once completed we are looking at roughly a 11 cap on the property and a very modern work space for our team.

Over the years, I've self managed my investment account through purchase of value stocks have outperformed by benchmark (S&P 500) over the long term.My interest in real estate is to get my money working for me in a new way.

I am a big fan of modern design and get rid of same old stuff.

KC has a growing population with a modern, diverse economy, I would encourage you to look at the economic and demographic trends of both markets in addition to short term cash flow.

its really just the modern version OF MLM back in our days Don :)

You can get short term cash flow in a lot of markets but if you're looking for long term income and equity, then you should be looking at markets with growing populations, growing jobs, good income and modern/diverse economies and industries.

I am building a 3k sq ft modern farmhouse custom in Lake Oswego  right now.. 

It's the second market we want to build to rent or build spec homes, but a lot of lack of commercial real estate and infrastructure is one of the main reasons it's a secondary market to where I'm based out of columbus ohio  I first went to Lehigh in 1982 on a fact finding mission with the state of California to address these massive subdivisions that were built without proper long range planning and no real infrastructure and would never be approved with modern planning..

That said, I am thinking bout building a nice home or buying one that's still very modern (2500 sq/ft min) and will rent to students (similar to me) that will be attending school with the Air Force in future years.

I have about 4 or 5 pages of them and trying to find one is getting like a search for a needle in a haystack, or in modern parlance, locating a 4-byte string in a 4k cluster of data without a search function.
