We're generally looking to network more and surround ourselves with more people that are on a similar path.We currently have 2 properties between the two of us - a three family and a four family.

Especially the surrounding areas.

It has great proximity to Boston (only about 2 hours away, compared to 3+ for most other top resorts) and there is a nice town surrounding the resort.

I have seen a lot of flips in my neighborhood and the surrounding communities, but some are taking a while to sell as many are priced significantly higher than the median home values on blocks that just aren't there yet.

All I care about anymore is location, the price of the property compared to surrounding properties, comps so that I know I'm getting instant equity, being able to force appreciation quickly through value add, and "pride of ownership"/ actually wanting to own the property (which also translates to renters actually wanting to live in the property).

(KC area and surrounding cities) I'm not sure how to go about that.

Hi Brittany,  my go to advice for anyone is to surround yourself with a team of professionals that can guide you, ie: attorney, CPA, tax advisor,  realtor etc.

I do work in surrounding areas also Raleigh, Cary, Garner, Knightdale, Smithfield, and much further Jacksonville , Surf City, Topsail. 

I actually live and invest in Springfield MO, I think it and the surrounding areas are great for fix and flip and rentals.

I am also going to branch into everything surrounding real estate such as home cleaning, contracting and moving into franchising.
