Her argument was not against the facts I stated in the blog; her complaint was that I compared her to a blowfish!

Sorry don’t understand your replyWhat is your definition of a B neighborhood I am looking at some oF them right nowThese neighborhoods are in fantastic condition compared to back in the ‘70s and ‘80sEven my wife said she would feel safe living in these neighborhoodsNo burned out buildings.  

I wrote the above for informational purposes.

Other than that question... seems like a sweet little package.As for the driveway... compare it to your comps. 

If I cannot find 3-5 I will extend the filter to include 6 months of sales before I go further than .5miRemember that a comp should have a similar style (don't compare ranches with 2 stories), similar construction (brick vs siding etc), and similar age (+-10 years if possible)

RN salaries are surprisingly comparable, cost of living much lower.

Mackaylee has been good at responding to emails and Kenna from property management was helpful when lockbox code did not work.USREEB have more options in 'A' class neighborhoods (Lees Summit, Praire Village, Blue Springs etc) compared to other providers focused on B and C neighborhoods.  

I would give both hard money and conventional lenders a good look.Make sure you put in the time to really research your lenders and to compare their rates and fees.But, like you, I'm very new to this so hopefully some more experienced folks can chime in and either agree with me or tweak what I said to make a little bit more sense.Either way, I wish you much luck friend!

The property I purchased was originally my residence and it now a rental but for all intents and purposes I am brand new to real estate investing.I would love to hear from those who have used either of these strategies or any alternative ideas.

The listing says Pratt-Monroe, but it’s technically in Union Square historic district for chap purposes.
