If you do find one in KC I would be interested in making the drive up.

Once licensed and insta-recruited by one of the dozens of brokerages that will spam you with glowing offers upon passing the exam, you'll bring your checkbook to your first day on the "job" and drive home about $2,000 poorer from all the required investments, fees, advances to transaction coordinators, MLS membership, etc. 

No more than 1 mile away if possible.  2 miles maximum if there are simply no comps, but that can drive you into a very non-comparable neighborhood. 

They'll be able to actually drive out and see properties themselves and have likely already developed long term relationships from living there for a number of years.

Her and my dad own an extra lot next door and the neighbor asked if they could use the driveway until they had a chance to put in their own drive.

I have seen the driving for dollars , mail flyer campaign, behind on taxes search, abandoned property or senior citizen looking to sell etc ideas.

Im based in the Bay Area, CA and work as a Software Engineer for a Self Driving company called Nuro (check out our on-road delivery bot, it’s pretty cool)I’ve been getting educated over the last few weeks on the podcast and the forums, and over the next 90 days I plan to acquire my first property to flip with some of my closest friends.

There is a nice stable suburb that is a 10 minute drive that has built up more over the years.

It makes sense that job growth and people continuing to move to Austin will continue to drive growth in the real estate market.

Stuff like driving for dollars, running your numbers, extending your network, direct mail/flyering are the basis and you can apply anywhere.
