Always willing to Learn In Kansas City

My name is Jamison Shaw, I am licensed general contractor with over 15 years experience in residential and light commercial construction. I specialize in kitchens and bathroom remodeling, and have a custom cabinet shop. I am interested in learning about investing in real estate, especially fix and flips and the BRRR method, using my rehab knowledge and my guys on slower days to build equity.

    Hey Jamison. I know the KC market pretty well. Are there certain areas of town or types of properties you want to focus on? I also commented on your other post.

    Mr. Greene, thanks for your response. As a general contractor, i feel best suited for fix and flip or BRRR method investing. Using my slow days to fill work for employees and build equity. I would like to start close to home as I plan to self manage the rental side of it. So area wise I would say cass county MO or southern Johnson County Kansas.

    Happy to connect. Being a GC helps BRRRs or flips out. You can beat out others and get it done for less.

    Have you figured out any general numbers yet that you'd be willing to share here? What price point are you looking at? Are you looking at properties that only need "cosmetic" rehab or are you open to deals that require more rehab?

    Hi Jamison,

    Kansas City is a fantastic market for someone with your skills and background! There’s no shortage of properties that could benefit from your expertise, and using your team during slower periods is a smart way to build equity and maximize returns.

    If you’re considering your first project, I’d suggest looking at duplexes in Belton, MO. I own several duplexes there and they’ve been solid investments with no issues finding renters. The rental demand in the area has been consistent, and duplexes offer the flexibility of house hacking or scaling into multi-family investing over time.

    With your experience in construction and remodeling, you're already ahead of the game—fix-and-flips or BRRRR projects in Kansas City could be a perfect fit for you.

    Happy to chat...being a local GC takes out a lot of the risk of the biggest variable for most investors (unpredictable rehab costs) and also allows you to consider more options than the average investor, with your rehab costs being significantly lower. Projects that may not make sense for some, will make sense for you if rehab cost is at 70%, comparatively.
