Hi! My name is Katherine Conrad. I live in Kansas City, MO. I am thrilled to have found such a great resource site. I have been reading non-stop for the past 24 hours.

I spent 16 years as a corporate accountant. I am currently at home with the kids teaching online accounting courses. While it is a nice flexible work option, the income potential is limited. I have been searching for a new business venture with long-term potential.

My husband and I currently own a vacation rental in Colorado, but I look to get more actively involving in real estate investment here in the Kansas City area. I would like to concentrate in the area North of the river near where I live. From all of the reading on different niches I am pretty convinced that with my business/accounting background and my husband's background in structural engineering and construction that flipping is our best bet.

I look forward to taking advantage of the wealth of information here on BP and getting started hunting for our first deal.

@Katherine Conrad Welcome to BP! I have been a real estate investor in the KC metro for the last 4 years, doing all buy and hold investing and mostly in the south part of the metro.

The Kansas City Market is really hot right now and many new investors are starting to flood the market, I don't know north of the river all that well, but in general the prices are very inline with a flipping strategy. Let me know if you have any questions about the KC market or if you need and referral's for vendors or just have questions about investing in general.
