Short and sweet, shoot me a message if you are an investing agent from Louisville.

Kansas City is a great market for real estate investing! 

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix and flip investment in Aurora.

This is not a "real estate rental income" activity as defined by the IRS, so whether you are a REP or not, you can take this benefit.All of this is separate from a QOZ Investment, which would require you to first recognize a capital gain from another source (say a stock sale), invest that gain, hold it in a Corporate or Partnership structure (likely partnership), meeting the substantial improvement qualifications of being a QOZB, and then yes, you get to avoid the depreciation recapture at the end of the 10 year hold period, at least for the portion of your investment attributable to the original gain that you invested in the project. 

Starting my real estate investment journey and using experience as a budding commercial/residential agent to guide my journey as well as the journey of others I interact with.

Get a Heloc on your current home because some lenders will go up to 90% on helocs and then you can maximize the amount of money you have available to you for future investment properties.

@Bo Goebel Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I'd suggest buying a turn-key or light rehab as your first investment.
