Its cash flows about 5k yearly and I have about 100k in it.I haven't lived in KC for a couple of years and would love to sell the property but the building is not FHA approved and I have been told by a few realtors that sales are very slow because of this.My long term plan is to buy and hold single families in my town so I am just fishing for ideas of what to do with this.

Warren, I am also an out-of-town investor who is buying in Rochester, NY.

I was a business major with a background in finance but ended up becoming a software engineer working for startups in San Francisco.The startup I work for has grown from 4 to almost 100 people which has made the hours more manageable and given me time to explore other entrepreneurial pursuits.I've saved up a small sum of cash to invest this year and I hope to learn a lot in my time here :)

I was just about to make a post entitled "how to know if a town is crime ridden" This crime tool is very convenient!

I found myself using it (while stopped) when near houses just to get a feel for the local market or whatever part of town I am in.

Thursday is date night with my wife so that's a no go but if it it changes to Friday then I'm in.Enjoy SF and try to make it to 21st Amendment Brewpub or Magnolia in the upper Haight while you are in town.

With the growing population and influx of people coming into the city I thought it might be worth exploring this topic.

@Purnell Cook it's not a matter of recommending it or not, if you want MLS access in the BAREIS coverage region you don't have a choice, it's the only game in town. 

So much so we've got hedge funds in town buying everything in site and making it hard to find rehabs...I dont hold rentals anymore, but am doing stuff in Florida and St.

I've seen property files in towns where a big stink was made on such issues, the owners simply waited the town out, remember who your dealing with when dealing with govt officials, govt workers...
