So it can’t be a dirt cheap home that needs a full gut rehab. 2-I could buy a home off the MLS, but most if not all great deals are off the MLS within hours because they are pocket listings and are paid for in cash.

In my opinion vinyl windows are cheap no matter what you pay for them, but I like historic homes and original detail.

I saw a rundown condo on city center that was cheap but wouldn't cashflow after rehab.I've lived here for 3 years now.

If You want to go really cheap and safe - search Raytown, MO, Grandview MO, Belton MO, Kansas City KSDo you have a property Managenent company already ?

If I can get it working for relatively cheap, then that's fine while I'm living there.

That's cheap money.

I think the advice of going to a JC to knock out as many credits as possible on the cheap and then transferring to a "name" school like Cal or UCLA isn't a bad deal.

The tenants don't care about the septic as they will use non-septic safe toilet paper (the really cheap stuff), flush just about anything down the toilets (even though my lease spells out what can only be flushed).

New London is very tempting because the houses are so cheap 

So far I have looked at Stockton and Sacramento, which to my naive eyes appeared as expensive/cheap as the bay area.
