struggling getting started

I'm new to the Kansas City, Missouri real estate investment business and am looking for my first deal. I'm open to flip and or rent but am struggling getting my first property. We go to view the home, do the analysis and by the time we want to make an offer it's too late. What other ways would one go about to come across a property for the first time investor? I would be open to wholesalers, direct mailers and driving for dollars. Any one have any other ideas.

Hey Joe,

I have checked out investing in Kansas City, but we never found better deals than we were investing in other cities.  Now that you have done that property and wanted to follow through with it, whenever a similar property comes on the market...you can jump on it faster. 

Stay constant and try to get a realtor to find these properties before they come on the market, off market, or to send similar props to you as they come on the market. The agent should be able to take some weight off your shoulders.

I would love to talk with you and see how I can help you succeed with your deals!

Happy Holidays & Happy Investing!
