Congratulations and welcome to BP! The forums are a great way to connect, as are local RE groups. I'm also a buy and hold investor, but on the other side of the state in St Louis. Feel free to pm if you'd like to chat.

@Steve Chu Congrats on getting into the action phase and obtaining your first investment. I think it took me about 10 years to finally start, and I can tell you it gets a lot easier after that first successful purchase.

Congrats Steve! I recently bought my first KC investment property as well, and now working on more. KC seems to be a great cash flow market from the research I've done. Great job on taking the hardest step! I wish you well in your future acquisitions.

@David O. Thank you. I finally disregarded the reasons why I should not move forward and took action. The rehab is taking a little longer than I expected, but I realize this is my first time and I'm learning a lot.

@Brandon Holley I'm starting off with a crawl, walk, run approach. At this point I'm focused on 1 new property per quarter. Then I will scale as I'm able.
