At this point I can't fathom spending close to $100k in repairs and potentially being right back where I started.

I’m currently looking to invest in Kansas City, starting with a few fix-and-flips and eventually getting into residential development. 

Rents have gone down since I started my research.

Congrats on finding that duplex opportunity near a SUNY University—sounds like a promising start!

I'm now aware of any "lifetime" limits for FHA loans, but you're required to live in the property for at least 1 year after the loan starts.

Here's more info on what co-hosts can do according to Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1534 Steve - if I were considering starting a STR/MTR property management company but do not have a real estate license, are there workarounds? 

I started with $25k and I bought the cheapest distressed 2/1 SFH I could afford. 

Do you also use Redfin/Zillow as a starting point? 

A little background: Feel free to scroll down for the main reason of this post...I started out in 2011 trying everything to make my start in real estate but was not successful until 2015 when we purchased our first duplex in Fresno CA.

I was wondering how other people managed to start scaling their business faster. did you guys work with partners or do any deals?
