I’m picked up David Greene’s BRRRR book and this strategy is what I leading towards.

I’ve listened to a few dozen podcasts and wondered around the forums a bit but for the last year and a half I have been looking at properties, attempting to punch numbers, speaking with realtors; basically I’m very green.

As @David Greene would say, did you have any "boots on the ground" helping you determine if it was a good area or not? 

I have been doing about the same here as far as saving and listening to the podcasts, I even ordered the BRRR book by David Greene and it is great so far.

@Lori Greene I've also been hesitant to use a HELOC for this reason.

So we are planning on moving to the US in about a year or so, basically when my husband will receive his green card.

As you can probably tell I am pretty green with this aspect of the industry, any help or advice would be appreciated. 

Then I got David Greenes book and I'm all in.

@Justin Greene stay above a 5 on areas with schools rated on https://www.greatschools.org/North of the river is great, some parts of independence, Lees Summit, Blue Springs and then if you’re a little more adventurous and want to get some appreciation-certain parts of the urban core.
