, you might not recall but in my very early days (hadn't closed a deal yet) we actually met at the now deceased Investors Workshops.

Then head on over to your local Real Estate Investor Association - most major cities have one and Kansas City is no different - actually KC has 2 REIA groups, 3 or 4 landlord groups and several other networking groups where you can LEARN a lot for pennies.Not that you can't learn for free, but most of these groups have a membership fee for their monthly meetings and a small fee for special training sessions.You can connect with people at live events, face to face and possibly find the mentor you re laooking for. . . . or you might go to some of the training workshops they offer and get the information you need to get started and then take questions to the REIA or even here to Bigger Pockets to fill in the gaps.If you print this reply out and take it to the next meeting of MAREI (June in Kansas City) you can go as my guest for free - just show it at the check in desk.

@Kenny Bergeron Similar to what @Laura Williams said above.The best way to go for ownership of your own home as a first-time buyer is to get DPA—Down Payment Assistance.Seek a good Realtor, who will have a list of organizations where you can attend a workshop, usually a full day on a Saturday.

Add to that... if you find out when the paid workshop will be held.

My house is a 3 bedroom, house with a large fenced in back yard, finished basement with workshop, 2 car garage, all hardwood floors.

I know that there are plenty pf people focused on that kind of real estate in California, as I went to a probate workshop several years back in LA that was quite full.

They also have great workshops that are often free or very low cost.

Would the new house be as/more/less convenient to work, shopping, medical, and other services?

art center for open air concerts or open air painting workshops?

Workshop/Garage previously rented $600/month + heat - $6,600/year 4. 2 Bedroom above workshop $800/month+heat - $9,600/year The 2 tenants are on month to months and are willing to stay.
