Is this a good way to begin, or would FHA be a better way to start, with VA no down payment I would think would be an advantage, I do have $30-45,000 willing to use, if needed, how long would it need to be an owner occupied property with VA before I could get another through them, what would I need to do to get that second property, refinance, am I then free and clear to go through VA again, how do I max out my VA loan, can I obtain two properties as long as I don't exceed the max amount, if I'm interested in a 2nd property can I get a FHA loan while already having a VA loan, or should I just start with FHA and pay the 3.5% with the cash I have available, just don't want to get locked into one property using one type of financing and can't move on to obtaining that 2nd property and so forth

Given your solid cash flow, I'd establish a solid reserve and then expand while you can still lock in low interest.

We have a secure lock box to keep them in.

From the initial look at the numbers it looks as though you'll be completely locked into this property with no equity and thus no flexibility.I'm confidant that with more time and effort you can find a much better opportunity in Kansas City.Just my rookie .02, I hope whichever decision you make is a blessing for you and yours. 

He looks into your eyes and ears, and up your nose with a little flashlight.

It is true that as of yet; I am still very wet behind the ears & as green as they come in some ways of real estate in terms of personal experience.It is also a true statement that I am currently working with extremely limited seed capital.

I'm starting with wholesales and then moving from there once I lock in that strategy.I'm open to suggestions 

I would hesitate to lock up HELOC funds in a buy and hold also unless you are absolutely opposed to doing some sort of cash out deal, either flip a property or BRRRR.

I like click lock laminate, can put down 900 square feet in a day with a helper.

I like the 2-part epoxies, which dry far harder than any kind of filler; Elmer makes a decent one that's not very expensive that I used successfully to repair a broken area around a door lock on one of my unit's front doors (a historical door).
