@Rochelle Duong

Hi Rochelle! I am in the same place as you. Looking for my first property OOS. I would love to connect and compare notes!

@Michael Gabin. I’m in the same exact position as you. I plan to take a portion and use it for a down payment on my first investment property. I had planned to do that before the drop in the market and I am hoping it doesn’t derail my plans. Good luck with your decision. It’s not easy!

I’m considering buying my first rental property in Kansas City, MO. I would love to hear from owners/investor about their experience and what they like or don’t like about this market. Any preferences on neighborhood? Best rental potential? Any Turnkey experiences? Thanks, in advance, for your input!

@Shane W. Chapin Thanks Shane. I am exploring Kansas City, Mo and parts of Tennessee right now, but I am open to other areas. I want to find a B class neighborhood with good rental potential and great people to build a team with.

Hi,

I am a Los Angeles resident looking to make my first OOS investment.  I am interested in a buy and hold property - possibly a turnkey.  I have narrowed down my search to a couple of cities, but my biggest dilemma is figuring out how to find a good team in that OOS city.  Who is it best to connect with first?  Should I find a real estate agent, a property manager or a turnkey company?  My biggest fear is not finding the best representation I can.  Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!
