I don't know about you but I enjoy the negotiations and back n forth.

Sometimes you make a deal, other times you don't.

Today wrapping up a deal to go under contract for my buyer. Took a handful of counters.

Listed 119K.
We first offered 105K.
They countered 117.5K.
We countered 110K.
They countered 116K.
We countered 112K and firm.
They agreed.

Now time for inspections and ironing out the bid. This can be a BRRR or flip.

As a rental it can be a cash cow with having 5 bedrooms.

Other offers made where we are negotiating. Stay tuned 😎

This weeks newsletter I am sharing 8 lessons I've learned helping clients in Kansas City.

Crazy to think I have bene licensed 8 years but in that span I've worked with hundreds of clients navigating this market.

8 lessons I covered are...

1) Neighbors matter
2) Do your inspections
3) Separate emotions
4) There is no perfect house
5) Time is your ally
6) Don't over improve the house
7) Maintain your property
8) Grading & trees

There are plenty more lessons but this gives you some to apply.

Buying a house or investment property may be scary. It's daunting but you have to look at each piece.

Yesterday I posted about a past client who bought a Kansas City rental in 2023 for $112K.

We talked through different ways he could access the equity, so today I dug into the numbers a little further.

I pulled recent comparable sales and I think the property could appraise around $180K. If it was really dialed in, potentially $190K-$195K.

That means the owner has built quite a bit of equity. Here's a couple options...

**1) Sell & 1031 Exchange**

If he sold around $180K, after estimated selling/closing costs he'd have roughly $160K before paying off any existing loan.

That could be rolled into a larger property (2-4 units) or potentially multiple turnkey single-family rentals.

**2) Cash-Out Refinance**

I think this option is ideal if the numbers work. You keep the current property while using some of the equity to add more doors.

At a hypothetical 75% LTV on a $180K appraisal, the new loan could be around $135K.

The main question becomes: what does the cash flow look like after refinancing?

That's an important part of the BRRRR strategy. Some investors would rather pull more equity out to put toward the next deal, while others leave more equity in the property to improve monthly cash flow.

Either way, I'm happy for my client.

Bought for $112K → built equity → now he has options.

Had a past client call me. I helped him in 2023.

He inherited funds from a trust. He lived in California where the prices are brutal and looked in other markets.

He winded up purchasing one here in Kansas City by UMKC. Purchased for 112K then.

Now he has equity and we are reviewing a couple options. Here's the ones we are looking at ⬇️

1) Doing a cash out refi. This could be with a conventional loan or DSCR. He can tap 70%-80% of his equity to reinvest.

2) Do a 1031 to roll it into a small multi family. He'd have 150K ish (rough net proceeds) to put down.

3) See if a line of credit is an option. This can be ideal for flips or BRRRs since you don't want it to draw out 12+ months.

Anyway can work but we'll look at each. I will run comps and we will look at eahc option.

Love hearing about success and appreciation. Kansas City is a strong market and time will be your best friend.

If you are facing the same dilemma in Kansas City I would be happy to discuss options 😉

Dropped off a lockbox this morning for a recent flip a client closed on. This is a task I do for clients that don't live here.

Boots on the ground is a term you've heard of if you're in Real Estate. What are some tasks that is included in that?

🔹 Walking a property before writing an offer
🔹 Meeting contractors at the property
🔹 Gathering multiple bids
🔹 Attending inspections and sewer scopes
🔹 Checking on rehab progress
🔹 Dropping off a lockbox or giving someone access
🔹 Running comps and checking rents
🔹 Connecting them with contractors, property managers, lenders, etc.
🔹 Getting the property ready to list or rent once the project is finished

The role of being the "boots on the ground" is to make the process easier. That's my goal is to ease the process and simplify it for my clients.

Streamline so the investor can focus on offers, running numbers and adding more properties to their portfolio.

If you need boots on the ground for Kansas City that is up my wheelhouse. Would be happy to help 😉

Here's a intro to me and what I do....

I'm Caleb Brown, a real estate agent here in Kansas City. I've been in real estate since 2018, and the bulk of my business is working with investors and property owners.

On the investor side, I act as the boots on the ground. I help clients find and evaluate properties, understand different areas of KC, and connect with contractors, property managers, lenders and others needed to build their team.

I primarily focus on single family and small multifamily properties. BRRRRs, flips, rentals and house hacks are some of the most common deals I work with.

I also work with property owners who are looking to sell. It varies but I help on a traditional sale, a property that needs work, a rental with tenants or anything more complex.

Outside of real estate, I'm a husband and dad to 3 little girls. I enjoy working out, serving at my local church and flipping items on Facebook Marketplace and eBay for fun.

Most of what I share here is what I'm seeing, properties I'm looking at, tips, market updates and lessons from current or past deals.

If you're looking to buy, sell or invest in the Kansas City area, I'm your guy😉

“I’m just going to wait until next year to buy.”

I hear this every year once we get closer to fall. Sometimes waiting is 100% the right decision.

Waiting may equal more $$. Kansas City home prices increased:

2023: +4.8%
2024: +3.5%
2025: +6.6%

Averages out to 5% annual appreciation over those three years.

If that recent pace continued, a $400K home today could be around $408K by January and $412K by March.

At $500K, you're potentially talking about roughly $10K more by January or $15K more by March.

Of course, rates could fall. Prices could appreciate slower, maybe flatten. But no guarantee.

Waiting for next year because you'll be financially in a good place is one thing.

Waiting because you're assuming rates will fall AND homes will be cheaper is different.

This newsletter I gave my thoughts and numbers.

Kansas City does not seem to be slowing anytime soon! If you need a realtor in the area I am your guy 😎

Today I have analyzed 20+ properties so far to send out.

Majority are single family BRRRs/flips. 2-4 properties are always hit or miss.

For the BRRRs or flips here's a couple that were interesting....

1) Roeland Park BRRR or flip.

- A class area. Priced a tad high at 235K. ARV 340-360K. Rehab 30-40K (from photos). Market rents $2,400-$2,600.

- Has insane desirability. 15 solds within .25 miles, 61 solds within .5 miles and 154 solds within 1 mile.

- This long term wise would appreciation. Short term it's tight but you are paying up for the area.

2) Kansas City, KS hold.

- C class area. Priced at 124.9K. ARV 165-170K, if you did TLC (10-12K) but looks livable as it is. Market rents $1,350-$1,400+.

- Photos don't look bad. You can try to BRRR or do a longer term loan with equity inside. It's one of those borderline deals.

I love analyzing and seeing what each pocket is doing. Helps me learn and keep up along with filtering out junk.

It's been a busy couple of days.

Normally August is mild but I don't see that. Seems like the end of the year will be strong.

Here's what's been cooking the last couple of days in my world...

1️⃣ Short sale under contract for my buyer.
2️⃣ New turnkey, light cosmetic deal under contract for my buyer.
3️⃣ Negotiating 2 resolutions on buyer deals.
4️⃣ Working with a seller off market to find a buyer.
5️⃣ Many offers wrote. Many homes toured.
6️⃣ Called and have more scheduled with new clients.
7️⃣ Hustling to sell listings.

Real estate is a lot of hustling. You are putting in work to get to the closing table 30-90 days out.

I love it though. Helping new and old clients buy/sell is fun.

If you need a hustler in Kansas City...I am that guy 👊

Saw this duplex pop up in the Red Bridge area, let's take a peak...

A class, close to Waldo and Downtown KC, fully remodeled and supply is low in this pocket for rentals.

List Price: $549,900

2 ways to house hack it.

FHA, 3.5% Down...
Down payment: -$19,250
Estimated total monthly payment: -$4,200-$4,400
Rent from leased side: -$2,160
That puts your estimated housing cost around $1,900-$2,300/month before maintenance/utilities.

Conventional, owner occupant - 5% Down
Down payment: -$27,500
Estimated total monthly payment: -$4,100-$4,300
Rent from leased side: -$2,160
Estimated housing cost: roughly $1,800-$2,200/month.

And you could take the house hack a step further by having romates. This could reduce your out of pocket to sub $1,000 a month.

Not for everyone but an option.

Then once you move out in 1-2 years it'll be fully occupied.

It's not a cash cow but you are paying up for the area. Area may be ideal for MTR so a few paths you can explore.

That being said if you wiggle the price down you can tweak the numbers which will make it more appealing.

All in all it's interesting, always happy to talk Kansas City real estate 😎
