@Chris Wendel Great to hear.  Best of luck on finding and making your first purchase.  Maybe we'll see one another around town.

Hello BP Community!

I am a new investor from Kansas City. I am working happily as a principal at an international architecture firm based out of Kansas City. I’m looking to make my first investment property purchase in 2018. My long term goal would be continuing to purchase homes or multi-family every year after that.

I stumbled across BP in my initial research of real estate investing (how could you not?), got sucked into the forums, then the podcast, and now I’m looking forward to being a part of and contributing to this community.

I currently live in a home near downtown that would be a great rental. I am debating whether a.) to live in my current house  and purchase an investment property or b.) to rent my current property and move into an owner-occupied investment property for a year until moving again. While I like the idea of staying in my current house, I also like the idea of only putting down 5% for our first purchase.

I’m here because I’d like to form mutually beneficially relationships with like-minded people. I don’t have much knowledge to share but I’m eager to learn and help. If you need anything from a KC local, please reach out, I’m happy to help.

So for now, I guess I’m the new guy; hoping to change that soon.

Thanks in advance,

Steven
