Kansas City Agent/Investor

[Taylor Howe]

Hi all,

My wife and I are currently looking to purchase a house in the Waldo(ish) area.  We have spoken with a few agents in the broader KC area, who have described a really crazy market.  We have put in a few offers, and have been beaten on all of them (mostly by those willing to waive all contingencies).  We are wondering if this craziness is as real as it has seemed, or if there are way people are winning offers without waving inspections and appraisals.  Right now, our focus is 100% on finding a primary residence, but would love to make contact with an agent who is also an investor as we are looking at purchasing another buy and hold property in the KC area (we own a duplex in St. Louis) down the line.

Thanks in advance!
