We put every ounce of energy that we had into it for over a year.

In other words, enough in reserves to pay the mortgage on all properties as if none of them were generating any income. 

MO has tons of these little podunk towns that can generate good cashflow, but you need to know what you are getting yourself into.

I had a 48 unit bldg with no power for 4 days after high wind almost tornado storm.. it was summer but the heat is almost worse,, we ran extension cords with generators to light halls and tenants just realized we were doing the best we could..

They will not have exclusive access to any lead unless they generate it through their own marketing campaigns, and I doubt that they are offering anything like that for a monthly subscription.

My goal is duplex, triplex, fourplex to generate good cashflow as I rinse and repeat the process.Love to do the follow the BRRRR strategy.  

Sounds like it has upside potential on the rent, it is easier to manage units that are all the same, it's probably a matter of if you have the energy to self manage.  

Top it off with som HOAs being super strict on things like lawn maint. and exterior look of things and othe bylaws so it could generate more noise for you as the owner. 

As a continue to save to start my business, I feel trying to generate leads on List Source is the best start in the right direction.

However, I have doctors in the family and they will tell you it's not as profitable as it was for generations before them.
