Kansas City Investors - Need Help!!

Hello, all! 

I am a newbie and I'm looking for my first house hack in Kansas City, MO. I'm a realtor so I have access to MLS and am looking every day for multi-properties but nothing is really looking great or in an area I want to be in. Does anyone have any tips/info on where else I can look to find a duplex or multi-unit property? I do not want to go over 4 units. I appreciate any advice or help!

Hey, @Ashley Sivils! Finding deals in this market can be quite the task. I wouldn't leave any stone unturned... You very well might be able to find a solid property on the MLS but I'd try a few other ways as well. If you can get owner data for the types of properties that you think you'd be interested in purchasing then you could try sending them a letter, a postcard or some type of professional memo. You might even call them on the phone and perhaps even send them a text message or a facebook message or an email. I'd try all of it... Especially if you got the capital and/or you're pre-approved for financing already. You'll have a leg up against guys like me and all these wholesalers and other investors who need a much bigger discount. ;) Good luck to ya!
