Hey Brandon. Lots of good options it sounds like. I started as an agent, then moved into investing/agent & then ended up buying a contracting business. Now I do all 3 & love it - great to have flexibility & multiple streams of income. 1 income stream might be slowing down a bit, but rarely all 3 at the same time. I agree with Lee - maybe start there/partnering & see where it takes you.  2 main investing groups in town are a great place to start - MAREI & Bridge. You can make a ton of good contacts there as well. Ultimately it's up to you to see what makes sense & what is a fit for you. 

I've just heard Voepel is solid if a bit pricey on maintenance, but I haven't actually used them.  Bridge is pretty good overall, just make sure to do your own DD on properties / make sure comps support purchase price & rent price.

Not sure about a 5+ unit, but if you have equity in your own house, Community America Cr Union does 100% Heloc. Not sure if they do one on investment.  If you can get one at 80%, I'd jump on that.  Best I've heard (haven't really looked) around KC is 65%

Hey Eric.  Would love to meet &/or set you up on a MF search.  Let me know!  Safe travels.

Hey Tim.  Congrats on the purchase.  What PM are you using now? 

Congrats Kyle!!  Nice job on the rents, that's obviously fantastic.  Where roughly in the city is it?  Best of luck.

Hey Rob.  There's a few decent FB pages for KC investing homes where you can try to find homes or a partner, so you might try that.  

MAREI also has a calendar of quite a few area specific landlord meetings & other events. Let me know if you want the link.

Hey Kirby.  I'd be up for coffee or something if you like.  Let me know!

Safe Travels.

Mike - depends on her situation of course & how much in reserve she would have if she bought a property.  If not very much left then certainly right, but hard to tell without digging into it further.

Lynn - sorry just seeing your question - I find most turn key providers have their own agents. I would suggest probably talking with another agent to avoid bias or at least do your own research. Best of luck!!
