In SummaryKansas City stands out because it offers:-Steady population growth, fueling housing demand-Diverse economy with booming logistics, tech, healthcare, finance-Strong appreciation—6–8% annually, 5-year trajectory-Affordable rents that still rise reliably-Low risk environment and landlord-friendly regulations-Substantially lower real estate prices than coastal metros-Game-changing developments across entertainment, tech, and corporate investment

Combining banking with accounting was a game changer, and cleans up the part that so many property managers do as an afterthought.

Nor can you expect a house that needs full sourcing including exterior backyard development, to a fully outfitted game room — to be $100.STR Designers are vital — we bridge the gap with real estate acumen, professional design (and yes we are different than traditional interior designers!)

Appreciate the reminder that real estate is a long game built on trust and patience.

Congrats on doing a wholesale deal and also wanting to get into the rental property game.

@Steve VassalloIt’s the long game.

@Chris Seveney, I’ve seen the same: anything below 1.0 rarely gets over the finish line unless there’s serious skin in the game or a story that makes the lender comfortable.

But it’s a reminder that “buying at the top” with minimal skin in the game can hurt when the market shifts, even slightly.Early signs of trouble or short-term noise in specific metros?

Aaaand the news cycle of misleading headlines begin..... https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/trump-considering-shake-h...Of course it starts with saying "....a potential “game changer” for the housing market".Yet if your one of the very few who read beyond the headline and 1st paragraph, it later details this "game changer for the housing market" as; "Fannie Mae calculated that homeowners would pay $1,143 monthly on a 50-year mortgage compared to paying $1,257 on a 30-year mortgage."

From there it goes quickly, you have a winner and the game ends.
