I am looking at property in the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area.  The rental market is very strong for single families, especially with an abundance in healthcare occupations and a large university.  The problem is that it is hard to find a good property that works with the 1% rule.  I am curious if any of you purchase properties that don't quite work with the 1% rule and what you do to make these work with your rental portfolio.  I appreciate any advice or replies.  Hope everyone is having an awesome day!

Hello there. My name is Bleau (Blue) Deckerd and I am a relatively new investor from Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Cape Girardeau is about 100 miles south of St. Louis. My wife and I started our company Sun Chaser Properties, LLC 3 years ago and we build high end spec homes in the Cape Girardeau area. We also recently purchased an 11 unit multi family in Jackson, Missouri. We would like to focus more on buy and hold single families and multi families in the near future while maintaining our income with the spec houses.

I just wanted to connect with some people and figured BP was a great way to do it.  I've listened to about 60 BP podcasts to date, but this is my first post at reaching out to the BP community!  

We are visiting Miami in mid March. Trip will be for both pleasure and to look into a couple investment opportunities. We have been to Hollywood, Florida, but never to Miami. This leads to a couple questions:

1. Is Miami kid friendly for the most part? Any areas we want to avoid?

2. Any good water front restaurant recommendations from the BP Community?

Thank you in advance.
