Out of state agent needed? KC
Question for anyone who can help. Im in SoCal. looking to invest in KC with in the next 2 months. My first. I was origionaly going to go turnkey (still might) but was wondering if i find another deal on the MLS I like would I need to use my own realitor? Would it be unwise or can the sellers agent work on bolth sides of the deal? Could I have the agent who I used in Cal. to by my personal home do the paperwork? Sorry if this is a super basic question, like I said this will be my first. Thanks everyone!

My recommendation would be to use a local agent to close the deal for you. An agent can set you up to get a daily MLS feed so you can look at deals as they come onto the market. Kansas City is hot right now so deals are going under contract right after being listed. You’re going to need to get your ducks in a row, be preapproved, and be ready to submit an offer the day of list on a good deal.
