Just need to make sure your property is somewhat central to some sort of attraction that would generate demand for short-term rentals (universities, airports, sport/entertainment complexes, businesses, long-term construction projects, etc). 

@Chris Schuler and @Ethan Atkinson, the Falcon's loss was brutal...I couldn't watch sports center for a couple of weeks after the game.

As far as my goal goes, I want to buy and hold in this specific market as a live-in college rental, 2nd exit strategy airbnb for the nearby sports arena. 3rd sell it off because its a nice area w/ schools. 

I live and will invest (at least to start) in Kansas City and the surrounding areas.Let me tell you a little more about myself:I enjoy traveling, watching sports, reading, going on early morning runs, eating healthy and (most importantly) spending time with my family and friends.I'm a big math nerd.

I love sports, namely basketball "GO HEAT!"

I am a huge New England sports fan, music lover/musician as well as a sport car enthusiast.  

We have a very diversified group of pro sport team fans as a result.

Hi @Lacee BeitlerI know/have talked to a few people doing this recently, but to be successful it seems to need to be near the light rail line, the North Side (for sporting events), or in South Side/Lawrenceville/Shady Side/etc.Also, just make sure you hold back the 7% tax.

Real estate investing is a contact sport.

go to your reia  meetings and do heavy networking..not to be a Debbie downer but wholesaling is VERY tough and especially in hot =markets like phxit would be easier in Indy, and in Dallas its a contact sport... not sure you came to greener pastures.. or brown desert as it were.you will find wholesalers at the reia's though no doubt.
