When would be the best time to try and get a property?

If you had a full time experienced repairman who knows how you think and can size jobs up accurately, you might get away with an ad hoc arrangement.

I serve on the board of CFRI, the local REIA and we have members partner all the time.

I thank you for your time and I would love to talk more and maybe pick your brain and get a little more advice.

I was self-managing so that made a big difference. 

In my free time, I am working to finish the coursework to get my RE license. 

You have to put in the effort, demonstrate the skills, and spend the time to scale up.  

Thank you for taking the time to explain where my income should go and why

Thanks in advance for your help.Depends how AGGRESSIVE you want to be - and whether you’re looking for a long term solution or just an immediate one or two time solution.A short term possible once or twice solution would be to write up a 6 month lease with a cancellation option after one month at the pleasure of the tenant.

@Caleb ChristopherI would like to make about 10% on CooCROI.. and yes you are right... higher rant don’t mean higher cash flow and that’s why I m wondering if I should invest in different areas in Kansas City metro, but I am worried to be stuck in a bad areas and no appreciation over time, no be able to sell and stuck with bad tenants
