3 Ways To Invest Or Place Capital In The Kansas City Residential Real Estate Market

Check out my latest YouTube video:  

 In it I talk about where I see some solid opportunities for buy & hold investments in the Kansas City market. Here are notes from the video:

Over the last couple years real estate practitioners have had to adapt in order to stay relevant and active. In this video I talk about what is now my main focus as a real estate professional. I have learned a ton from clients, mentors, business partners and colleagues over the years. Where we have experienced the best success is with buy & hold and cash flow investments that are held for years.


A very large portion of these have been single-family homes in what may be considered "B-class" locations. I dig deeper into 3 ways that investors can place capital or purchase these types of investment properties in the Kansas City area today:

1. Fixer uppers - value add / BRRR
2. Notes - seller financed - performing / non-confirming
3. Move-in-ready - livable / turnkey

This is where we see solid opportunities, right here in the Kansas City market. The biggest being way #3.

Are renovation projects or fix & flip properties worth it in the long run for investors in today's economy? They may be okay for those who are skilled in construction or project management. How about repeatedly, over an extended period of time, though? Maybe. But for the everyday part-time investor? Maybe not.

Figuring out how to efficiently utilize capital and financing for real estate investments is such a critical part of the business. Keys to this is knowing how much liquid capital is available to deploy, what are the terms of its usage, and how long the capital may be tied up. Understanding this, up front, determines how we can place or invest that capital.

Having a sound game plan and a proven investment model is a biggie, too. One way to make the whole process more effective is to partner or work with seasoned operators and practitioners with experience in the space.

Plug in so you can learn more about how you can invest in real estate and grow your portfolio. If you would you like to figure out how you can create more residual income, i.e. cash flow from investments or private funding then connect with me on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook as well.
