I want to be a pro soccer player, but I'm in my 30s and couldn't even hold a candle to semi-pro players.

House hacking has been pivotal for us.

Certainly there are examples of people who end up being successful but there are examples of people winning the lottery or poker players drawing out to an inside straight. 

I'm relatively new in the business and really don't want to ruffle feathers of a big player in my own market.

Once we find out someone may actually be a player, they move to our short list.

It's like a Cheers where it's the same players that show up every time.

Plus, they are the players in your market so they'll know what strategies are working and why. 

Appreciation will eventually be a a larger balance sheet player than the property that brings a few extra (even thousand) dollars to your income statement.However- I just borrowed from a bank for the first time in 5 years. 

I am not certain how doable that is without understanding the market, players, and offerings for PM services in KC so that is one of the many items I am in the process of researching.Once I have done that I think I will have a better feel for what is feasible.Best,Patrick

William Tharp , go to your local REIA and see who the main players are in this space.They may be interested or you could reach out to a couple family offices or angels to see if they will fund the deal.Send me info on the project as well.
