Today is shaping up to be a busy one.

Here is part of the to do list:

🏘️ Previewing a potential BRRR for a client. I'll walk it, take some video, and see what the rough rehab may be.

☕ Meeting a new connection for coffee. One of the things I enjoy most about this business is the people you meet along the way.

📝 Negotiating inspections on a deal currently under contract.

📞 Intro call with a new buyer to discuss criteria and beginning the search.

🏡 Talking with an owner about a duplex and putting together a game plan to get it sold.

💪 Squeezing in a workout somewhere in between.

⛪ Ending the day helping with the kids program at my church.

No two days are ever the same, and that's one of the things I enjoy most about real estate.

Kansas City is still moving. Some areas faster than others but it's a fun market to work in

One of the biggest mistakes I see investors make is falling in love with a property too quickly.

They come into a deal with blinders on.

Honestly, the goal is to poke holes in the deal. Not saying don’t weigh the good but find out what can go wrong

The listing agent, wholesaler or disclosures have already told you the pro’s.

I’m looking for what could go wrong.

* How old are the mechanicals?
* Is the layout functional?
* What repairs are we missing?
* What are market rents?
* How long would a rehab realistically take?
* What does the neighborhood look like block by block?

A lot of deals look great online or on a spreadsheet.

The deep analysis starts once you walk through the front door.

That’s why you often need to view many properties before pulling the trigger on one.

Good investing is usually more about avoiding bad deals than finding a perfect property.

Congrats on my buyer locking up a deal, here's the backstory...

The owner stopped by our office looking for help selling a property that had suffered significant fire damage due to a lightning strike.

Fire and burn houses are a different animal. For many investors it's too much to take on but had a client who knows the process.

We walked it and same day sent an offer over. Couple of counters but we laned on a deal.

Love having clients that are solid and able to jump on deals.

Right now the house needs quite a bit but once the renovation is complete, this home is going to look beautiful.

If you own a property that needs repairs, has deferred maintenance, or you're exploring selling in Kansas City, I'd be happy to connect

Saw this 4-plex pop up and it made me think of house hacking.

This is a hypothetical example since the property is fully occupied.

Four 3-bedroom units in Lee's Summit. Listed at $699,000.

Here is what caught my eye vs the drawbacks to it...

Pros - Located in an A-class suburb with strong schools and long term appreciation. All units are 3 bedrooms, which tends to attract longer-term tenants and harder to come by. Market rents are $1,600+ per unit. From photos looks well maintained so no heavy lifting.

Cons - Higher price point than the typical first house hack. The current rents are under market which means you have to stabilize. You'll be sharing walls with three tenants and taking on a larger payment. Cash flow may be tighter initially.

Assuming FHA financing with 3.5% down:

💵 Down payment: ~$24,500

🏦 Loan amount: ~$674,500

📉 Estimated payment (PITI): ~$5,000-$5,500/month

If market rents are $1,600/unit and you occupy one unit:
💰 Rental income from 3 units: ~$4,800/month

That means tenants could be covering a significant portion of the payment while you live there. This means saving money monthly while owning an asset.

Not saying this deal works or doesn't work. Just a good example of what you can get into with owner occupant financing.

The deals, showings, offers, and closings are always great.

But this is the stuff that matters most.

Enjoying some downtime with my little girl before another busy week ahead.

One bad contractor can destroy an otherwise great deal.

Many investors spend hours analyzing purchase price, ARV, rents, and renovation budgets.

Then they hire the first contractor who gives them cheap bid.

That's where the problems can begin.

This week's article covers:

✔️ How to create a proper scope of work
✔️ Why multiple bids matter
✔️ Common contractor red flags
✔️ How to manage projects once work begins
✔️ Mistakes that can cost thousands

Whether you're flipping, BRRRing, or renovating your own home, this is one process worth getting right.

Saw a forum question from an investor who had completed several flips and was trying to figure out the best way to work with contractors and GCs.

My advice:

Don't drag contractors to every property before you have it under contract.

A good contractor's time is valuable. If you bring them to 10 houses and never buy one, eventually they'll stop answering the phone.

For me, the initial underwriting should be done before you ever make an offer. Put together an estimate and walk the property.

Once a property is under contract, that's when I would bring contractors out and get detailed bids.

I also think it's important to be upfront with contractors that you're having multiple GCs bid.

Most reputable contractors are going to be in a similar range anyway. You may see some variance, but if one bid is dramatically lower than everyone else, that's usually a red flag.

Over time, the goal is to find a contractor you trust and build a long-term relationship rather than shopping every project to 3+ people forever.

Had someone pop in our office, they saw us on Google.

Their former us (next to me) was damaged by fire due to lighting. Thankfully I have a client where this is up his wheelhouse.

Now time to look at the extent of the damage, look at comps and help this owner out.

One of the things I enjoy most about real estate is having a network of people who can help solve problems when situations like this come up.

Love working with investors here in Kansas City 😎

Congrats to my buyer on going under contract!

We looked at a dozen properties and landed on the one.

There was a few offers but we won it. Now time for inspections 🤗

I helped these clients back in 2019. They bought a simple, 2 bed.

Now they outgrown that and need to move up. Their former house will cash flow very well. Steady way to add rentals.

If you need help buying or selling in Kansas City I am your guy 😉

Here's a snapshot from today's inspection.

I am no expert but this is a easy sign the roof needs replaced.

Thankfully I viewed before so this was not a surprise. Things like this is easy to spot before writing an offer.

If you are looking at properties make sure you view or have someone in your stead do so. It'll save you time and money.

Happy Friday!
