One of my close friends in the busines had a similar setup.. her husband was also a contractor, and together they tackled a fixer-upper that ended up netting them a solid profit on their first deal.When you’re hunting for the right property, I’d lean on a realtor who really understands investor math... someone who’ll help you break down potential cash flow or resale value.

I went through this whole process recently of researching for Real Estate CPA and finally went with referral from friend that also invests in real estate. 

Overland Park, KS vs Kansas City, MO) Very landlord friendly, worst case eviction is usually 8 weeks + $500 + lost rent (cannot comment on individual cases and this is not legal advice) Large diverse metro area - variety of jobs, companies, people can have a career in KC.

I have a friend here who has about 140 houses right now, who I was discussing return on equity with.

I met a contractor through the project that's become a solid 1st call for my next flip and a good friend in the process.

A friend of mine picked up a duplex there last year for under $150K, added some sweat equity, and turned it into a cash cow.Chattanooga, TN: This market has been quietly making waves.

I know in Virginia my friend had a similar issue (side-by-side duplex, though, not second floor) and he was not proactive, just warning them several times verbally.

These guy is talking a lot about how great the city in his targeted investment but very little time going deep dive into his Financial.Our friend Grocapitus is targeting the naivest tech-background rich folks that's rich in equity but poor in financial analysis capacity (and bit arrogant too sometimes because they think because they rich due to tech so everything else was easy).Our friend here  likes to cherrypick market stats that's irrelevant for his investment at his deck.

From what I’ve read on BP, the city of Alexandria seems to be friendly towards STRsI would then also potentially rent out one of the upstairs bedrooms as a MTR or LTR.

All my friends work W2s and no one I know is investing in real estate so I'm really looking forward to connecting with the amazing women on BP!
