Asbestos is an entirely different ball game, and will be extremely expensive to have done.

Wholesaling is an option to get started and requires much less capital BUT it's extremely difficult and requires many of the same skills as a commission only sales job.

I have recently closed on a SF, 3bed 2 bath in an extremely small town.

I live in NYC and am looking to start a RE career including Flipping and Rental Properties.As you probably know starting out in NYC is extremely difficult due to the high pricing.  

I have never been sued, I have never lost an eviction, and it is extremely rare that something happens that isn't covered in the contract.

I have been learning a lot about real estate through the bigger pockets podcast, and I am eventually going to start looking for deals, and ultimately pulling the trigger on a multi family property.

It gets real easy to start straying from your criteria just to get a deal and that's when you get in trouble, You have to understand that Kansas City is an extremely competitive market and good flip opportunities aren't a dime a dozen.Let's look at the time line for a flip even if everything goes perfectly from day one.

And nationally, in the single family space which is anything 1 to 4 units, inventory is extremely low. 

Very dangerous when used poorly, but extremely useful when used properly.
