Would love to hear from anyone in Kansas City area about any great events or potential groups to involved in to network and learn more!

Of course, that's exactly what I am worried about, the costs involved.

But do keep your eyes out so when you see the right good deal you are ready.

Tenants have also claimed that since mid April they have been having symptoms such as burning nostrils, burning eyes, coughing, sore throat, headaches, earaches. 

Her husband also flips houses in the area so she understands the market and has a keen eye for determining ARV. 

A lot will depend on what type of real estate you want to become involved with; rentals, flips, wholesaling, brrr, singles, multi-family, commercial, etc.Here are a few suggestions:  (especially for singles and small multi-family)  concentrate on the best school district, get the worst house on a great block, stop your car and get our and actually speak to people working on their yard or just sitting on their porch, eat at a local mom/pop coffee shop--sit at the counter and speak to the waitress and customers.  

I got involved in Fixing and Flipping houses as a result of the leads I got from my "refinancing" clients way back when.

You first should attend or read or listen to as many re estate education you can get your eyes and ears on!

Keep an eye on that 5 year balloon also, you don’t want to time that wrong with the next market correction. ;-) Cheers!

BRRRR involves cash or hard/private money and when you refi, that's the first bank loan on that investment property.
