@Ruth Blue thanks for the advice!

@Dave Carpenter thanks so much. basically what i am looking at is a car wash with 4 self service bays and 1 touchless automatic. guy is asking 375k and it grosses 100k per year. the property is in excellent shape. he owns another one in town too (already under contract) and have been in his family for decades. id be looking to bring the price down a bit and utilize an SBA loan. the property is in a blue collar town. everyone takes great pride in their honda civics. most of the houses there are multi family and do not lend much space to washing your car at home. the property gets a good amount of traffic and is surrounded by some small auto dealerships and other small businesses, multi family houses and apartments.  

I would look for a blue ocean somewhere near this red ocean and find a way to fish there.

One of the first steps I take is to search address in Trulia, look at the crime map, and ensure the property is not in a high crime area(Dark blue).There are tons of deals on the MLS in Connecticut where we invest.I believe the key is to act quickly, know your numbers and your buying criteria .If you know you want single families with 3 bed 2 bath, set up an alert for that and get your paperwork ready to offer once you find one that matches.I hope this helps.

I am primarily looking to get started in Independence, Blue Springs, and Lee's Summit suburbs of Kansas City and am looking to rent to young families.

I wanted to go with something fairly neutral to appeal to the majority of buyers, and not paint a wall an overly dramatic color (blue,green,yellow,pink).

Blue pants, white button up.

Again, I will repeat myself until I am blue in the face - because no one seems to be hearing me - than I was agreeing with the eviction, but also mentioning another tool in the tool belt.

Other than that, it was turnkey.We were expecting the financial model to play out much worse based on the robin's egg blue furnace that was originally in the property, but through Marcus' help, we were able to secure a new furnace on the seller's home warranty policy during the inspection period.
