Great conversation!  As a "Realtor from Kansas" and a local real estate investor, I try to give as much free advice as I can!  I am always up for sitting down at a local coffee shop and just talking about real estate.  I share details about our portfolio and I want to learn about yours.  Maybe you are having success in something I haven't explored yet or I can connect you with someone taking on the same type of project.  I typically also share details about the market and how we find off-market opportunities.  I want to build a relationship as investors in our community who can call on each other with questions or thoughts about projects or opportunities in the future.  

Not all Realtors are smarmy sales people, most that also invest want the community first, and if you need my help or want me to share opportunities we find I am here to help.

Welcome!  We work with T&C Construction here in Topeka.  They help with all of our rehabs and also do general handyman fixes as well.  As a REALTOR we have referred them to multiple investor clients who have also been happy with their work. (785) 250-2732

Welcome to Bigger Pockets!  As local Topeka agents and investors we connect with other local investors to find and share off market properties which helps us connect investors that want to sell with investors looking for opportunities.  Please DM me your email address and I’ll add you to our email list where we share the investment opportunities we come across.  

What’s your buy box?  How many beds/baths, price, and amount of work you are looking for?

It's almost time for our Topeka Investor Meetup!! On Wednesday, August 28th at 6:00pm we will be at the Blue Moose on Wanamaker in the far meeting room. 

This month we will have Tina from Security 1st Title visit to share info and answer all your questions about 1031 Exchanges and if we have time she may be able to provide information about what to look out for with the up coming Shawnee County tax sale. 

It's only awkward the first time!

Hope to see you there!

Welcome Jennifer!  Glad to connect with another local investor!

Don't miss our monthly Topeka Real Estate Investor meetup at the Blue Moose at 6:00pm this Wednesday June 26th.

This month we have invited Gary Larson from Shawnee County Code Compliance who will answer all of our questions about code compliance and give us some tips to maintain our properties and stay off the code compliance list!

Can't make it this month, join the conversation and don't miss the next one by following the Facebook page.

Hi @Allison Richardson! If you decide to search in the Topeka area, I'd love to visit with you and learn more about your budget and depth of work you may or may not want to take on with a new property. As a local investor and local Realtor, we run across off-market properties often and can help determine a fair price by providing an ARV (after repair value), and introducing you to some local contractors in the area.

By the way, Lawrence has a local investor meetup every 2nd Wednesday of the month and Topeka has one on the 4th Wednesdays.  Visit some meetups and network with others doing what you want to do!

Give me a shout if you'd like to chat more.

Super! I'll add you to my shortlist of handymen when we have FHA or other inspection required repairs.

I was looking for a backup handyman just a few weeks ago.  What kind of work are you great at?
