@Joe MartellaI'll take a crack at some of your questions1.

I *have* lived in the Kansas City area for most of my life.Just from that tiny picture, and the specs on square feet and rooms, I would expect that house to sell for more than $10k, even in KCK. 

Sacarficed alot of time and work for a tiny reward.

I understand that the city is cracking down on that. 

While we really strive to be disciplined and live a minimalistic lifestyle (drive used cars/no cable/don't eat out frequently etc); our pickle is that if we are going to have to pay in the $1300-$1500 range anyways...is there much difference (of course we don't need high luxury at this point either) And yes I'm sure we could find something tiny, dirt cheap w green countertops and pink bathrooms; as my wife is a stay at home mom, I just don't want her to have to hate the place where she spends a majority of her time w our children. 

You just butt it up against that door mold and caulk tiny gap. 

Some States are cracking down on wholesaling real estate, though there are legal and ethical ways around it.

Working for a greedy corporation making them literally millions of dollars over the last decade and I have been given a very tiny piece of it as a ground up developed manager today.While I don't have the education some would think I would have needed to do this job/position.
