Does anyone have a good mid-range, price wise, quality painter they would recommend? Looking to have some solid wood cabinets painted white in a kitchen.

@Lane Johnson: MAREI.org is one of the best REI clubs in Kansas City.

There is a group that meets in Blue Springs also.  A few wholesalers who have groups too. Setup your keyword alert for Kansas City. You will see something come up once a week or so also. 

@Rob Scarborough - has a group also. 

Good luck. 

@Cole Sims, thank you for the input.  I talked to local firm and they quoted 2k in start up fees and $70 is monthly fees, not including commission to the broker.

They offer some rebates/discounts on the start up cost because I will be a veteran if/when I start there.

Wondering if you think that is a fair deal?

@Lane Johnson, welcome to BP. Have you read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide?

@Caleb Allan, welcome.  

@Beth S.,have you done analysis of the market? KC is red hot right now.   There is zero wrong with C class neighborhoods but I guess a few questions. (I long distance landlord)

Have you been a landlord before? Have you land lorded long distance? Do you have a person in the local area to look after your asset? Are you going to use a turnkey company? PM? (Both a turnkey and PM cut into your cashflow/profit margin) 

The above info focuses on day to day management/operation only, which is where you make your money. If you find the right C class neighborhood sure you can get a good deal but you need to know what you are doing.  But you still won't find something for 50k in one of those neighborhoods.(unless you direct market and find someone who truly needs to sell for cash quickly) 

No matter what you are looking for you will be hard pressed to find something for 50k that isn't in a war zone. Bottom line.
