Looking forward to meeting some BP family in person soon :)  Set for Life was one of the first books I listened to when I started getting serious about my finances - appreciate everything you and your team does for the RE investor community.

2) is there a resource that someone could point me to for a customizable seller finance contract template that we could look into?

Here are a few I recommend: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Roberto Kiyosaki; "Set for Life" by Scott Trench; "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer; "The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide" found here on BP; "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Tuner.

I usually hit top of market pricing and/or set area sales price records with my properties. 

Start with Strategy by @Dave Meyer and Set for Life by @Scott Trench are great starter books before you get into others.

Hi everyone,I'm going to be building a portfolio in Kansas City and at the start, the properties will be multi family targeted at MTRs.Does anyone have recommendations for legal counsel / prep on contracting for those...

Make sure you have funds set aside for an emergency, if you have personal debt, try to eliminate as much as possible, understand what your personal balance sheet looks like in regards to monthly cash flow and net worth.Investing in real estate is investing in a business, and you need to have a good understanding of your financial picture before you begin to buy a business.I would then focus on what niche you want to start with.
