Unique homes like small cottages tend to be popular as well. 

Hey, @Andrew Richmond, Kansas City has some great deals and some unique opportunites available all the time.

I set up my website and car magnets with a google number but after sending out direct mail and setting up PPC I wish that I had CallRail You can have up to 10 unique numbers (from the ZIP of you’re choice) for $30/mo and you have every number forward to your personal line.

My strategy was a little unique.

One wildcard is that it's zoned to allow in-home business and has detached garage too, so maybe a unique tenant who needs that would like it.

Conventional, had to go through local bank, it is a unique Manufactured Duplex, which most lenders won't touch.

So when you're doing your analysis find the purchase price that makes the numbers work (with plenty of cushion room).

In my opinion once you have a property or two you can start working with a coach and finding out how your unique gifts (everyone has them) can help you grow an investment portfolio for you and your family.The number 1 mistake new people make is waiting too long to make their first purchase.

There is a little risk there, but you have usually also a good cushion (equity) to make up for it in case there are surprises (usually plumbing).Hope this helps.

I own a rather large Property Management company ($50 million+ portfolio) so I've got a unique perspective on this.We keep our management portfolio to the county we are located in.
