I have never been shy of facing challenges and I truly believe knowledge is power (something my grandfather taught me at a young age)I really want to learn everything there is to learn about realestate and am driven and hungry.Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.

Are there other, more cost-effective alternatives to gain similar support and knowledge?

Gaining valuable insights into the local market.Always consider that Jackson County has a LOT of variability in KC proper and then uniques submarkets of LS, BS, Independence, Raytown, Grandview, etc all with their own local city governments, rules and regulations, each with their own uniques submarkets of their own...Happy to chat and share my knowledge and experience.2.

Definitely connect with an investor-friendly agent, they should have all the knowledge, resources, and connections you will need.

Would love to connect and knowledge share if you are interested.
