Well, I heard about this tactic, and was so excited to try it out until I tried looking through Jackson County’s public records portal here in Kansas City.

If the seller is trying to avoid legal issues with the city for illegally operating a property I would get out of that.

There is a city wide ruling that it isn't allowed.

If you’re weighing options in Chicago or have an eye on emerging neighborhoods in that city, I can get you in touch with someone who knows their way around the Windy City’s rental regs and local quirks.

There is a ridiculous amount of inventory on the market and you are constantly fighting with bottom-dwellers willing to rent their dumps for $89/night.

We dug a little deeper and found out the city had a timeline to expand water and sewer services within 18 months.

They city required that I replace the best sidewalks in the neighborhood under the program and the cost was substantially higher than estimates I obtained on my own. 

It’s an uphill battle with the city; many investors can look at this and see that this only forces appreciation and get in even though the cost to play is high.Hope that makes sense.

In particular Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Blue Springs and North Kansas City.

There are multiple billion dollar companies dumping money into the city, such as Intel, Google, Honda, and Amazon.
