Hello Everyone,. I am from New Jersey,and looking into investing out of state. I have a relative that has moved to the Kansas City area , and i'm trying connect with investors/real estate professionals there. Im reaching out in hopes that you can assist me.Do you know of any reputable realtors, property management companies, wholesalers , and maybe contractors?

@Matthew McAlarney and @Brent Kiger I grew up in the Johnson County area of the Kansas side and know the area well. I used to be an agent there years ago and as of this past year added KC to my REI business area. I am amazed at how fast properties are moving compared to my other areas. I have one property in Mission that we are rehabbing and I'm watching the neighborhood explode with houses getting offers within hours to a couple days with full price offers to boot! I think it is hyped due to the spring excitement but I can't get my rehab done fast enough, hahaha!!!! I am working my KS REI from out of state as well even though I grew up there. I can tell you that my most difficult or challenging thing is contractors. They used to be easy to get. Now they are booked up (the good ones) and expensive! It is very frustrating. I prefer the Kansas side but it is because I know it well and I feel the the properties move faster but I guess it depends on if your flipping or renting. Rentals will serve you well on either side. Taxes may be cheaper on the Missouri side. It will be city dependent. There are definitely some areas to avoid but I think every city has those! Let me know if you have any questions. If you want the KS side, pm me and I'll give you my realtor info. #2 in the area.
