Just leave it under the house..instead of using the very costly Trane unit I would use the cheapest no name brand..if it blows up in 8 years who cares?

I personally would hold people like @John Woodrich as a better example of an investor someone new should follow or @Dawn Anastasi. 

Assuming you don't care about location... they're in KC metro (on the outskirts).

You have to be careful.

I can take care of all of those needs.

Care to share where your out of state investments will be located? 

Well kind of an obvious but I don't see it specifically mentioned in your analysis... which of those cities cash flow?

The kind I do not like are passed on from their parents who never learned to work so they expect you take care of them.There are some restrictions and annual inspection most have to do with safety(railing), smoke alarms, and sanitation....

As rentals the capital requirement to rent ratio is more favourable than a SFH ... to the point where you really do not care about re-sale value in 10-20 years.

Also interfacing with a realtor listing can cause some potential misunderstanding of an assignment of an agreement and brokering a property.
