If you buy and hold, time will make you look like a genius.

The Title Holding Trust or Land Trust will keep your name of the public record, but it can also complicate the property ownership and management. 

So I would rephrase the question as: what are the pros and cons of Kansas City for buy and hold small multifamily when my goal is cash flow or what are the pros and cons of Kansas City if my goal is fix and flip SFH with large margins on each project.

Our bank will let us use equity that exceeds 25% across multiple properties that are either owned free and clear or where they hold the first so long as the deal still cash flows with however much cash is brought to the table.

How it will happen, no idea but if they open that bottle and latter they need to hold the genie they will ramp interest rates in a hurry.

Or are you looking to buy and hold for long term wealth down the road? 

However, we also recognize the time value of money, so while it might pencil out to turn a profit, but we get an immediate payback versus a six to nine month holding time, it might make more sense to sell them both as bare land.  

We have done out of state investing and we hold 3 SFH and one Town home in Atlanta, GA and looking to expand our portfolio.We attend a monthly meetup every 2nd thursday in the month.

The DST sponsor takes about 2% on the front end as well.The hold period is generally 2-7 years.

I know I need to hold the security deposit in an escrow account.
