New to investing in the Kansas City area

[Daniel Porter]

Hello everyone. I am 42 years old and live in the Kansas City Missouri area. I am looking to get started in real estate investing in my area. I hope to start with single-family homes and maybe eventually move into multi-family homes as I gain experience. Both my wife and I are lucky enough to have great careers that offer excellent pensions. I am not looking to replace my W2 income, simply to add to my income when we retire in about twelve to fifteen years. I am definitely in the information gathering stage, but getting much closer to buying my first property, hopefully in the next three months or so. It appears that low-income rentals are big in my area, but I hope to stay north of the river (that makes sense if you are in KC) in nicer homes/areas. I am trying to build a team because my goal is to go with something like the brrr method, but buying something that is ready to go is not out of the question. I look forward to meeting more people in my area and gaining more knowledge from BP.

@Lauren Keenan I own 3 homes in Waldo. Bought 2 of them this year. There are definitely still opportunities there! I just bought one on the MLS in June and I'll be able to BRRRR it and pull all my money out and I went 15k over asking!
