Thanks @Jay Cam and @Chris Seveney. I found a few RMLO's, but its been difficult descerning if they meet SAFE act/Dodd Frank, it seems like it can be the wild west a little bit. However on the servicing side, Madison management has been great. They can even service wraps and subto deals!

Quote from @Jay Cam:

Hello I am looking for a RMLO as well here in KC for MO and KS. Have you found one?


Hey Jay, I'm here in the KC area as well, I'm looking for someone to intake documents and assist with screening of applicants for seller financed homes while meeting all the necessary legal and compliance needs for this type of transaction. I came across this older post. Were you able to find someone that could help with both MO and KS properties? I'm hoping to find an option that can do this and possibly service the notes as well. If you have any good recommendations or insights I'd love to hear what you have to say.

@Meghan McGill I'm really excited for you, what a great learning experience. I'm glad the lessons you learned weren't too expensive and I love that you just dove in and started without overanalyzing yourself to death. Best of luck in your future deals!

1. It seems that time is your biggest constraint. If that's the case I would partner with someone in your area who will find the deal and you are the cash partner. If not, you can use a turnkey company, or wholesalers.

2. Not at all. If you buy for cash flow, you should have no worry at all.

3. They have been saying prices would have dropped this time last year, but here we are. Just buy for cash flow and you should not have any problems!

4. Outlining your REI goals, pick a strategy, pick a location based on data, get your financing in check, analyze deals then make offers. That's it!



@Antonio Cucciniello

I appreciate your reply! I'm probably way over thinking things and just need to more connected in my target market here in KC. I'll be looking at partnerships, turnkey providers and wholesalers moving forward. Thanks again!

Welcome to BiggerPockets @Sam Mayberger. I'll give you my opinion on the four questions you asked.

1. What is the most efficient way to create my desired cash flow with my limited weekly time restraints?

If you really have no time at all you may want to look at working with a turnkey provider. With the type of money you say you'll be saving you should be able to buy 2-3 turnkey properties per year. If you can find some time you will be able to get better returns and reach your goals faster if you buy properties that need some work. 

Living in Kansas City is also an advantage because it is a great cashflow market. You could look into house hacking, or even just buying a place with a low down payment and moving after a year to help speed things up as well. 

2. How scared of the impending market correction should I be?

None of us know what the future holds. If you can find a good deal where the numbers work today you should pull the trigger. People are always worried about an impending market correction.

3. Would it be more advantageous to wait to invest in order to stockpile cash to purchase multiple properties when prices come down or should I get my feet wet and get started with less than optimal numbers to get experience sooner?

"Don't wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait"

4 What is my very first course of action outside of podcasts and books?

If I were you I would connect with an investor-friendly agent in the area. I've never worked with him, but @Caleb Brown is very active on here and seems to be well connected in the Kansas City market. Good Luck!



@Tesho Akindele

Thank you so much for your reply. I agree that it would be better to get started rather than wait out a pending market correction, It's never stopped me buying stocks so I'm probably just a little out of my comfort zone is all (great place to be for mindset growth). Also, I appreciate the name drop, I'm not well connected in my market as of yet so that really helps. 

Best of luck in 2021!

Hi @Sam Mayberger!

I work full time outside of real estate and I was looking at a way to start investing while minimizing my risk and time. I found turnkey investing and made my first investment this past October. The property is actually in Kansas City. The post below has more information about my investment. This might be a good strategy for you since you have time constraints.

I would be happy to discuss more!

Best Wishes!

Hey Joseph! 

I really appreciate the reply. I read your post back when you posted it originally. Congrats on the deal!! I honestly hadn't read up on the turnkey strategy up until now so I may have to bug you about the process and how it turns out after the dust settles. Looking at it now, it may be a great way to get my feet wet and learn as I go. 

Thanks

I've been lurking on the site for some time and would like to get some direction for my axe sharpening. Currently working 45 to 70 hours a week in health insurance sales and am looking to build a passive cash flow of 10k a month to eventually replace my current career and another 10k a month to replace my wife's salary.

A few opportunities that I can work with:

1. I live in Kansas City

2. Will have between 50-80k to invest each year starting 12/21

3. Have a strong desire to become financially independent

4. I have grit

5. Have 60k in primary residence equity

6. Have proven sales experience

With that said, I have a some questions for the BP community:

1. What is the most efficient way to create my desired cash flow with my limited weekly time restraints?

2. How scared of the impending market correction should I be?

3. Would it be more advantageous to wait to invest in order to stockpile cash to purchase multiple properties when prices come down or should I get my feet wet and get started with less than optimal numbers to get experience sooner?

4 What is my very first course of action outside of podcasts and books?

I appreciate any responses and am grateful for being able to post here. If anyone is in the KCMO area and would like to have coffee or meet up give me a shout!
