Kansas City area member.

[Peter Green]

Hey all, My name is Peter. I'm a carpenter from the Kansas City area (Lees Summit, MO). I was turned on to BiggerPockets a few months ago and have been listening to the podcast ever since (a lot). I do not own rental properties yet, but that is my goal. I'm going to buy and hold one (at least) property per year until the cash flow is enough to replace my carpentry wages (I don't want to work TOO hard my whole life..). I just bought my primary residence earlier this year, which was my first ever house purchase. I work for a GC that has two sides to his business. One side is industrial construction, and the other side is single family residential construction (wherein he builds and holds executive rentals). He is a landlord, and he's been building two or three rentals per year for thirty+ years (without ever selling a single house). I've been working with him for three years now and I have learned more about money/business from him than anyone else my whole 29 years yet (Rich Dad, Poor Dad style). There are several things I look forward to discussing with this community, and several questions I have that will certainly be answered. Perhaps y'all might be able to direct me to the correct forums to post these questions: Does anyone on BiggerPockets build and hold as opposed to buy and hold? Where and when will the next Kansas City meet up be? Thanks for your support!

@Peter Green Welcome to BP. This is a great place to learn and exchange ideas. You're fortunate to live in a great market like Kansas City. I'm in CA but have been active in KC for several years and personally believe it's one of the best cash flow markets today. Be sure to check out @Kim Tucker's MAREI. It's the largest investor group in KC.
