But the biggest cyclical/economic issues here, IMHO, you did not mention:Hotel rates, execustay rates, Airbnb rates, and other furnished rental rates are higher during an economic boom.

Hi Cindy,Each month there's a meeting, usually somewhere in the mid-cities area, on the last Wednesday of the month.  

S/He's probably already got one foot out the door and is just waiting for someone like you to come by and offer to buy it at a reduced rate; because after you pay contractors to bring it up to a good standard you still want to be within the FMV/ARV.For you, though, the biggest thing is vacancy rate and income.Nonetheless, if I were you I'd be happy to pay a wholesaler. 

Study and research most of cities/states now,it seems we are in seller market now?

One of the biggest things that helped me was the podcast episodes that BP offers.

Also, like @Matt Garboden mentioned, the outer portions of the city still have quite a bit of deals.

I'm in the hunt for my first rental property, but it is impossible to find anything in the Denver Market.I've been doing tons of research and I am leaning toward going the turn key route and buying a rental property, possibly in the Kansas City Market.

If you're located in Columbus, or Ohio I would love to hear about networking opportunities or resources specific to our city / state.Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Could be different in other cities though.

I almost bought a rowhouse there about 10 years ago, and its probably one of my 3 biggest property regrets, not buying it.
