Louis at the same time, the low cost of living and manageable climate plus proximity to many US business destinations (4 hours by car to Chicago, Indy, Nashville, KC, Memphis, etc. or 2 hours by plane to Dallas, Denver, Atlanta, etc.) should keep a stable base population in the metro area.

I wouldn't recommend trying to claim personal expenses as business expenses, even though some "big name" hot shots (RDPD, Chapter 5) have tried to sell that snake oil to the gullible.There's a lot of bad info out there, unfortunately.

Kind of had a feeling this would happen going in, so only paid about 50% of property value in a hot area of KC where DOM is <30 days.  

Since our building does not have common amenities such as hot tub, swimming pool, etc, we knew that families with children would probably opt for one of the other condo buildings that did offer those things.
