I've helped hundreds of clients across the area. I got licensed straight out of high school and had no idea what was ahead.

I jotted down 7 lessons I've seen over the years.

I don't claim to be a guru but I've worked on all sorts of deals. Real estate is not always glamorous but you can always learn something from it.

These are simple tips but a good reminder regardless of where you are at in the journey.

During 2019-2023 we saw a surge of investors who could get away with higher risk. Ignore numbers and location.

Now with rates and prices higher sticking to the fundamentals and numbers are vital.

Often when I speak to new investors they are surprised that is my niche.

Majority of agents have a negative thought towards investors. I often hear agents think they are "low ballers" and "tire kickers".

Yes there are plenty of time wasters.

But that's not most. I think it's fairly straightforward process. Most base their judgement and decisions off a few things ⬇️

- Location. To some that means only being in a suburb. Others are looser. Regardless each investor has a location and types of areas they target.
- Numbers. Whole point to invest is to make money. Each has their own criteria in terms of that.
- Strategy. Each property can fit only certain strategies. Not all houses work as a flip. Not all work as a turnkey property. Each will vary.

As an agent it's important for me to understand and know the buy box, criteria.

When I don't that's where frustration can happen.

Working with investors is my bread and butter in Kansas City. If you need a resource, I am your guy.

I may be a nard for Legos. I've been slowly collecting and adding to a value tracker.

This set in particular I bought on FB for $60 a few years ago. It is #76261. In those few years it retired and has increased 256%.

With time the value has grown.

You often here in Real Estate time is the secret sauce. If you hold for long enough often you'll see price and rent growth.

For Kansas City we are a steady, linear market. During 2019-2023 we saw abnormal appreciation but normally we see 4-5% YOY growth. Rents we see 2-3% YOY growth.

With time those steady percent growths adds up.

Not saying gamble or buying any property but keep in mind time, it's the greatest lever for investing.

If you are exploring investing in Real Estate, Kansas City is a great spot to look.

Had someone local find me on Google. We are chatting this afternoon.

They are looking to BRRRR and it'd be their first time.

I always love helping clients local or not start investing. It's daunting and there is many parts to the process.

With a BRRR there are a few moving parts to nail down initially.

First, start analyzing deals. You need to understand what's available, how fast deals move, price ranges and what areas are selling for.

Next, you need to establish your team. That means lender, agent, contractor and property manager. These are your core.

Then, narrow the city/area. Some investors focus on the "A" class suburbs, others look at the urban core.

Finally, you can start making offers and sifting through deals. Sometimes it takes 2 offers, other times it takes 10.

Rates being higher does make numbers tighter but it's still doable to find a deal.

If you are curious about investing in Kansas City I am happy to connect.

2 listings going live this week and 1 will be hitting next week.

Owners always ask me - How is the market in Kansas City?

Here are the recent stats from the Heartland MLS, percentages are comparing to last year....

🏠 Average sales price: $399,619 (+7.7%)
📅 Days on market: 42 (+7.7%)
🏡 Closed sales: 3,116 (-6.7%)
📝 Pending sales: 2,620 (-15%)
📊 Total inventory: 8,832 (-1.1%)
📉 Months of supply: 2.8 (-3.4%)
💰 Percentage of original asking price received: 97% (unchanged)

We will see how the rates will effect the market. I think some buyers will pause till the Winter time (January-February).

Rates going up does make numbers tighter but you have to adjust your offers accordingly.

Certain pockets are resilient. Suburbs for the most part are moving steadily, inventory is lacking there.

This seems like the time to strike and snipe deals. Make the offers under and you'll have one stick.

Happy to chat further on specific areas if you are exploring the Kansas City metro.

We've all heard the contractor horror stories.

Someone hired their girlfriends cousin who took shortcuts and abandoned the job.

Out of all the moving parts to a flip or BRRR, choosing a contractor is vital. Your outcome and timeline hinges on them.

Here are a few tips I've learned and seen working with contractors, clients....

- Always have a line by line bid. Never take a broad estimate as the bid. The bid being line by line will detail what's being done and the cost associated with each.
- Cheap shouldn't be all you care about. I am all for gathering bids but cost should not be the end all be all. Compare to the other bids and the communication.
- Ask for past work. Do research on their business. Not all contractors will have an online presence but the active and put together ones will.
- Send the inspection reports to the contractor. This avoids miscommunication and addressing any issues.
- Walk the property with the contractor and confirm level of rehab. Some areas require different scopes. Be on the same page off the bat before worrying about change orders.

Change orders and delays happen. Not saying al rehabs will go perfectly.

Key is finding a contractor that will be on your side and get the job done.

Today is stacking up a little bit, here's what's on the to do list ⬇️

➡️ Inspection for a client. This will be a flip. Located in North Kansas City, we got it 15% off list price. Excited for it.
➡️ Publish a new listing. Seller should be signing those docs. It was a former rental but it's in an area he is moving out of.
➡️ Send my seller Pre MLS docs. This was a flip bought a couple months ago. It is near done, shooting to hit the market end of the week.
➡️ Go to the good old DMV 😒 . Thankfully there is an app I can join so I can work prior to heading there.
➡️ Schedule inspections on a new deal from yesterday. We negotiated and secured under list price.
➡️ Put back on market a triplex listing. Seller completed work and now it's time to market it again.

Love the hustle of Real Estate. Some days are busy, others you do projects.

Everyday I comb through properties on/off market before I forward them to clients.

I saw a 4plex on the MLS that was intriguing.

Listed at 450K. 2/1 units. Located in North Kansas in a "A" class suburb.

The main drawback I see is current rents vs market.

Rents are currently at $800's when market is $1,200+.

The only 2 bedrooms listed for rent in the zip code (on Zillow) are $1,675 and $1,600. That means there is a lack of supply.

This situation is always tricky. Initially cashflow is low or none with the current rents As units turn and you go closer to market then the property improves.

This is alwasy awkward. Do you eat the first 1-2 years to get into a great area or do you pass?

I see both may work. Now time to discuss with a few clients and look at walking the units.

If you are looking to add small multi family I'd be happy to go over what to expect in the various parts of Kansas City 😎

You heard the good news that you got an offer accepted...now what?

Offering is only the start, there is more to do once that's accepted.

Here's what those next few weeks can look like ⬇️

- Schedule the general inspection.
- Do a sewer scope. You can't see the condition of the sewer line without.
- Have contractors walk the property and put together repair estimates, scope of work.
- Review the reports and scope of work.
- Submit earnest money deposit.
- Review leases, deposits and tenant information if its occupied.
- Renegotiate repairs or price if needed.
- Schedule appraisal.
- Coordinate with the lender, title company on underwriting needs to get to closing.

Sometimes everything checks out and we move forward, majority of the time there is some negotiations needed.

Thats when we have to decide whether the deal still makes sense.

Can we negotiate? Can the rehab be tweaked? Or is it better to walk away?

I work with quite a few investors who dont live in Kansas City, so being their boots on the ground is a big part of what I do.

Finding a property is thrilling but you have to get to the closing table.

Had a midday coffee meeting. We connected through BiggerPockets.

He is newer to investing and is exploring house hacking.

For him doing room by room or having roommates is ideal. You have strong rent as you occupy and can keep it as that or pivot to a long term tenant.

Was able to share my thoughts on the market, areas, tips and built the relationship.

Real Estate is all about conversations. Some lead to a property or deal, others are another person in your network.

Love helping clients invest here and sellers change directions when needed. Kansas City is a steady and busy market.
