Kansas City is a much more affordable market with great cash flow where you can pay off your mortgage in 10 years through cash flow, so figure out how soon you need your cash flow and how quick you want to pay them off.

This rail system is a very affordable mode of transit that thousands of commuters use to get into the city.

Honestly I'm leaning towards The mid west only because the properties are much cheaper and affordable.

For my wife and I the key frugality has been:-we drive inexpensive cars (Yaris, Escape, both older and used)-RARELY eat out at restaurants-one vacation per year- and it's camping within a day's drive from home (and we already have the gear)-small affordable home (bought in 2012 at the bottom of the market- that was just lucky timing)-0 use of credit cards-and hard work to boost earnings That last one isn't so much frugality- but has been the biggest key to saving for us.

We decided to move a year later but couldn't afford to sell the property so we decided to rent it out.

But the note and D-T are always essential.

I don't plan to sell which is why it's worth the $100 a month in cash flow now while I still have a W2 job and can afford not to live off the cash flow but rather reinvest it in principle pay down, and then reap the benefits of paid off houses down the road when I retire.

But I am considering purchasing her house from her and then she can pay me what she can afford every month.I have two questions.1) Has anyone ever purchased a house and then rented to a family member, if so, has that experience been more positive or negative?

Don't you have enough "Pro" people paying to afford a better mobile app (that can edit, quote correctly, add images)

First consider what markets you can afford to get into.
