We basically want property to generate some cash flow and long term appreciation.

So get the lay of the land but always rely on a local market expert to help guide you.First let’s get a basic handle on the Kansas City metropolitan area.

I maxed out my conventional rental loans when I had around 20 units, and that was basically hellish. 

It's basically a ruined farm house with 3 structures.

Basically, this property cash flows.

This new area is basically double the housing cost then the first, but I think finding the team to manage will be much easier.

We are having a hard time coming to a consensus of how to identify, underwrite, and basically take the jump. ( we don't want to screw it up lol) I've searched this topic on the forums but figured someone could give some insights given our situation.

Don't need a ton of pictures but I want to get a decent idea of the location and condition.So basically you dont want your customer to know it look dumpy until they show up.....I can understand the safety from people looking for vacant houses.... then anyone selling a house better take all of their outside pictures off their listing

You are basically changing the dwelling and Baltimore City is not gonna let you do it without getting your money :D))

Basically, be willing to look at your listing through the eyes of your target avatar.
