Hello BiggerPockets KC folks! 

I am looking to do my first SFH flip in KC. If you have done any flips in the area:

What should I be aware of when planning a flip in Kansas? What is the minimum $$$ range needed for a SFH flip? and what are the best areas to look for properties?

Thanks in advance!

Hello BP KC folks! 👋

I've been following this forum and got across some great comments and valuable information, so first and foremost, thank you all for the great content you are putting out there. 🙏

I am interested in doing a flip before purchasing rentals and am looking at KC as a place to start. 

If you have done any flip in Kansas:

✅What should a real estate investor know before planning a flip in Kansas? 

✅What have you learned? 

✅What is the minimum $$$ range needed for a flip?

✅What are the best areas to look for properties? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Sheryl Sitman! Thank you for the encouragement and the advice.

I have a mentor who is guiding me on my first deal, and am looking forward to building a team in the city where I will be investing.

Sounds like you have a whole lot of experience. What would you suggest in today’s hot market in terms of strategy, and areas for a new investor with a $100k budget.

Looking forward to hear your insights and let’s connect!

Hi @Carl Murray

Thank you. Yes please, let’s meet!

(Please DM me when is a good time) thanks!

@Mike Reynolds Thank you for your suggestions!

I actually looked into Little Rock but it has less then 200,000 in population, and New Braunfels less than a 100,000. I assumed there should be more opportunities in bigger areas. Is that correct?

Also, are you familiar with investors who are flipping properties in those areas?

Thanks again!

Hi, @Mike Reynolds! 🙌

I am looking to start with flipping a single-family home under 100k. After my initial analysis, I am looking at one of the following cities: (in this order).

1. Oklahoma City, OK

2. Omaha, NE

3. San Antonio, TX

4. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

5. Indianapolis, IN

6. Kansas City, MO

7. Pittsburgh, PA

I will conduct a deeper dive into each one but am happy to hear your feedback or recommendations.

Thank you @Cherie Gatling! Happy to be here!
