JOCO--Johnson county rental

[Linh Lynne]

Looking to hear from investors in Johnson County. What's your overall experience renting in Johnson county? I have been focusing in overland park, Olathe for A properties with good schools. Seems like B and A classes don't provide high cashflow after operating cost.  My strategy is buy and hold for appreciation, quality renters, and turnkey properties. This market is new to me so I am a little nervous.

Yeah you are correct. Most areas of OP and Olathe in Johnson County are difficult to cash flow double digit cash on cash returns. You can find 5-8% ROI if you are okay with that. But in the mean time, yes it's an appreciation play. Dangerous to bet solely on appreciation but if you need to park some capital in a low risk asset to hedge against inflation and also for tax reductions - those areas may be great for you.
