I will be investing more in Wichita-I love that town & made some life long friends there.

Mentioning unique perks like 'Game Room,' 'Lake View,' or 'Pet-Friendly' can really draw people in.

Asking for a friend who was told by his PM (reputable) to ignore it and that most investors don't bother to get their Grandview properties inspected/registered with the city. 

One more thing, especially for people who don't meet my criteria, besides more deposit is required, I also do a interview with them, not interrogation style, more like a friendly conversation to figure out their situation.

I recently helped a friend who was in a similar position - looking to tap into equity for a rental property purchase in Phoenix.

Quote from @Todd Fullerlove: Howdy BP friends,I just relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee, Tennessee.

A good investor friendly agent typically does “driving for dollars,” from what I’ve heard, and they might have a direct line on off market properties.Eyes on the Future - At 19, you can stack up quite the portfolio over the next decade.

I’m determined to make this work not just for myself but for my family and friends.

Overland Park, KS vs Kansas City, MO) Very landlord friendly, worst case eviction is usually 8 weeks + $500 + lost rent (cannot comment on individual cases and this is not legal advice) Large diverse metro area - variety of jobs, companies, people can have a career in KC.

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"
