My wife and I were were considering a house hack in the Kansas City area and were wondering of any realtors that had specialized in this type of real estate in the area. If there was anyone that folks would recommend, I would appreciate it.

You might want to reach out to Caleb Brown. He's active here on BP... Are you wanting to do a single-family home or maybe a duplex or quadplex? You can still make it happen. It's ever important to pick the right location and type of property...

Duplex or quadplex is what we were looking for. We were going to try and live in for a year if we could find the right spot.

That's a vibe, for sure. :)
Some other things of which you'll want to be mindful:
1. The location of the property
2. The ACTUAL costs of taking down the deal AND keeping it. (pad and cushion everything and have extra in reserve somewhere or with someone.)
3. Be reasonable on what you target as your potential "all in" amount on the purchase & rehab. (I'd be less concerned about "built-in" equity now and way more focused on the location of the property and the size of the renovation project.)
Basically, your options to buy are gonna be with traditional financing or a BRRR of sorts... Unless you find a seller who's willing to carry the financing or let you purchase subject to the existing financing. Even then, a BRRR for an owner occupant purchase as a house hack could be very challenging to maneuver through... Especially if it's your first go round... So really, the most seamless or simplest way to do it might be the traditional financed route.
