The vast majority were at the high end of the market and probably well overpriced to begin with.- Some of the properties I looked at were already sold at auction.- Their website is unprofessional.

I've been doing the same thing.I found this to be very helpful showing the cap rates for different investment classes, markets, and major cities.http://www.cbre.us/o/fortlauderdale/AssetLibrary/CapRate_H22014_Master%5B1%5D.pdfI also look at these 2 sites...http://www.areavibes.com/kansas+city-mo/neighborho...http://www.bestplaces.net/city/missouri/kansas_cit...

If you don't have a written lease from the purchase I'd check out your local and state agencies for advice on what the law is in the state in addition to consulting with an attorney.For example, where I am (St Louis, MO) the city has a "landlord's guide"https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/...which includes things like sample applications, information on the eviction process, and citations to the state landlord tenant law.The Attorney General puts out a state guide on Landlord Tenant lawhttps://www.ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/publica... though an attorney would be the most helpful when it comes to knowing what paper trail you need to create.

In my market, the majority of homes I will be looking to purchase and flip will be mid sized homes, under $250,000.  

I had always been an entrepreneur and as soon as I read Rich Dad Poor Dad I vowed to learn every aspect of real estate I could.Since then I've taken major action not all to my prevail but I have been making headway in RE investing.

nothing major.
