I am hoping to get started in the dennison and victorian village area because that's where I am most familiar with.

Some examples of these neighborhoods which can be found on Google Maps are:B Class NeighborhoodsGrove City EAST (N: I-270 | E: I-71 | S: London Groveport Rd | W: Route 62)Merion Village SOUTH - 43206/07 (N: Thurman Ave | E: Parsons Ave | S: E Morrill Ave | W: S Wall St)Berwick (N: E Livingston | E: James Rd | S: I-70 | W: Alum Creek)Olde Towne East NORTH (N: E Broad St | E: S Champion Ave | S: E Main St | W: I-71)Franklin Park (N: E Broad St | E: Alum Creek | S: E Main St | W: Wilson Ave)King-Lincoln Bronzeville SOUTH (N: E Long St | E: Taylor Ave | S: E Broad St | W: I-71)Woodland Park SOUTH (N: Greenway Ave | E: Railroad east of Woodland Ave | S: Broad St | W: Taylor Ave)Milo Grogan WEST (N: E 5th Ave | E: I-71 | S: I-670 | W: Railroad west of Cleveland Ave)Franklinton MIDDLE (N: W Broad St | E: 315-N | S: Sullivant Ave | W: Glenwood Ave Railroad)Fifth By Northwest/University View/Lincoln Heights (N: Kinnear Rd | E: Rt-315 | S: W 3rd Ave |W: N Star/Glen Ave)Weinland Park (N: E 11th Ave | E: Railroad east of Cromartie Ln | S: E 5th Ave | W: N High St) The Ohio State University EAST OF SUMMITThe Ohio State University WEST OF SUMMITOld North Columbus/SOHUD/Tuttle Park/Glen Echo (N: Glen Echo Creek | E: Railroad east of N4th St | S: W Lane Ave | W: Olentangy River)Riverview/south of N.

Purchase price: $545,000 Cash invested: $545,000 Single Family Home in the heart of Sewickley Village that is used as a short term rental.

Picture your lot on the river as a park like setting with 3 or 4 Tiny Homes in a Tiny Village!

Austin, Little Village, S.

I recently purchased a duplex in Elberta, MI.Duplexes are currently allowed by right in all zones in the village. 

If you're specifically wanting to focus on the Eastern Kansas side that is within the KC metro, Johnson County would be a great starting point to look into (Overland Park, Mission, Roeland Park, Olathe, Prarie Village, Leawood, Shawnee to name a few).

Not sure what "blocks and lots" are... assuming it would be lot 5 of block 6 of Cameron's lumber company addition to the village of woodland park? 

No way in a rental unless it was in Greenwood Village or Cherry Creek and it was part of the security system.
