I’m currently looking to invest in Kansas City, starting with a few fix-and-flips and eventually getting into residential development. 

The biggest expense for many agents is their marketing budget to get leads and grow their business, but if you’re looking to be just part time to start you won’t need that.

I would start with the marketplace section here on BP. 

The next 2 offers started a bidding war I got over asking with inspection for information only . 

You will likely miss some deductions using the commercial tax software but it’s the cheaper option and starting out a couple hundred dollars in deductions missed likely isn’t that big of a deal.

I started off doing long distance BRRRRs until the rates went up.

From my experience working with over 400 investors, those who start with house hacking scale much faster.Good luck!

The National Association of Realtors says that the average profit on a flip is is $15,000 and takes 6 months from start to sale.  

I started using both at the same time and found AirBnb to be far more user friendly with less clicks/swipes needed for any task.

Start with VRBO and Airbnb and use their iCal function to sync calendars.
