New Member in Kansas City (Northland)
Hello everyone. My name is Justin and my wife and I live and work in Kansas City, MO. We are both fortunate enough to have secure jobs with good salaries and flexible schedules. We have twin girls on the way and would like to start something we can pass down to them in the future while supplementing our income along the way. Our initial thoughts would be to invest in buy and hold, single family homes in the Kansas City Northland area. The next property we purchase will be our first so we are inexperienced and looking for all the information and help we can get.

Hi Justin! I'm really familiar with the Northland in Kansas City and agree it would be a great place to invest. Do you know what type of investment home you would like? Townhomes can actually give you good bang for your buck as there are some available in the northland with low HOAs and could keep some of your general maintenance down. If you just want to stick to traditional single family, it may be good to think about how much square feet you want, number of garages, and neighborhood. Let me know if I can help with any questions. Thanks, Joel
