Currently there is 150k left on the mortgage at a high interest rate of 5.5% at a fixed 30, and I was hoping to lock in lower rates offered to take some pressure off the monthly mortgage payment and increasing property taxes. 

@John Thedford knows that market well.

Thank you @John Underwood & @Luke Carl

@John Villodas have them create their own LLC and purchase the property together in a 50/50 split. 

Hi BP Pros and Rookies,I'm a newbie out-of-state investor looking for some guidance regarding the steps to close out an off-market deal in Kansas City, MO.  I feel like the proverbial dog who caught the car.  Any advi...

they determined that a lot of the theft was from the workers that worked for the contractors and new the lock box codes coming back and stealing stuff or telling their cousins etc. 3. pull into gas station and have to lock your car when you leave and head on a swivel  or simply do not buy gas there at all to dangerous. its these type of things the locals are raised with and us OUT of state folks have no clue about especially if we were not raised around that environment we simply dont know what we dont know..

@John Underwood, John thank you for the suggestion.
