I'm interested in connecting with other investors and investor-friendly real estate agents, focusing in MTRs in Kansas City.I'm interested in a 2-bedroom house (SFR or duplex), ideally near hospitals and/or universities and research centers.Are there any real estate agents you would recommend from personal experience?

One idea that I have been pondering is buying a plot of land in a relatively good location with high odds of appreciation then placing a prefab house on top of it.

I have family that is moving to Philadelphia and purchasing their first house.

there are tons of good youtube videos about oxford house and check out the Depaul University research about oxford house. 

On a $400,000 house that's about a $24,000 savings.

Now I'm back to this vacant property in Canton and although I still think it would make a great MTR I rather focus on acquiring another property and putting my capital there.I'm currently weighing all my cashflow options for this Canton property and trying to find the best balance of additional funds and maximum cashflow.Here are the options I can think of:*Let PM take over and just LTR it (no extra capital, minimal time managing, minimal cashflow)*Find someone to manage the MTR (extra capital needed for furnishings, then either rent whole house or rent by the room, better cashflow)*Rental arbitrage (no extra capital, better cashflow than LTR?)

Most of my houses earn around 30-40% total return year after year.  

I sold my first spec to Shep of Southern charm.. anyway 40 some spec houses later its been a wonderful ride for us..

You'll attain a higher rent and she will have stable housing.

It might not be as in depth but you will see everything around your house.
