HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Across this great country, everyone is gearing up for the holidays. For most of the human race, the holidays bring a feeling of warmth, cheer and a sense of community. We join with our communities as we go shopping, decorate our houses lavishly, dress our table with a great spread of fantastic foods and buy gifts for all of our families and friends. We love to spend money this time of year, in order to make it great, and we do it along with everyone else in our community. For one moment in time, we become like one big entity, all headed in the same direction, thinking the same thoughts and enjoying the culture of Christmas. Where we differ is where we call “home.” As we prepare for the Holidays, most of us head home to celebrate them with our friends and family. But, where is home? Everyone is going different directions.

I call Kansas City “home” and I love having a home in Kansas City, as this city has a lot to offer. It is great for those looking for low cost living but still wanting to maintain quality of life. The holidays are a great time of year to meet Kansas City. Let me introduce you to this great place. I can start by walking you down the plaza during the lighting ceremony. This ceremony is held once a year and results in the plaza area being lit up with lights all at the same time. It creates quite an effect, and many come to see it and witness the glow of the lights coming alive for the first time. It is quite a sight to behold. The smell of BBQ lingering in the air, flowing out of Jack Stack BBQ restaurant, is enough to gain your attention and stir up your taste buds. We are known for our BBQ and people come from far and wide to experience it. If you’re on the plaza watching the lights, you might as well stop in at Jack Stack BBQ and try some fantastic grill. The shopping is an incredible experience both at the plaza, Westport area, downtown KC and the local malls. Don’t forget Halls Department store at the Crown Center. This famous, high end store, owned by the owners of Hallmark, is quite a treat! The Crown Center also has a lighting ceremony that brings the lights on the big Christmas tree to life across the street. Down the way and across the main street, sits the ole grand Union Station. It has all kinds of kid activities involving trains, movies and a science city for learning. The station is filled with people and events, including a recent private event hosting a fantastic symphony. You can jump aboard a train, at the Union station, and in 8 hours be in the city of Chicago, which for some is a very pleasurable experience in this modern day. I could go on and on, as this is just the beginning of what this great city has to offer to those wanting to invest and gain great profits.

Like most of us, people get so focused on the Holidays that they forget that this is actually the best time to be looking for property to invest in. To be able to flip and hold properties in Kansas City, you have to be looking for the right place and the right houses. You also need to think about the right time. Now is a good time, as your normal citizen is not thinking about buying anything besides Christmas gifts right now, yet there are still houses constantly going on the market, as business doesn’t stop with the cold weather. Whatever the reason, financial hardship or the need to relocate for a job, people have to list their homes, as the times always call someone to change. Now, is your time as an investor, to get in on these great deals here in the central U.S. ‘Invest Midwest’ is a movement that is being created due to the low cost housing purchases that can be made in this area, as well as the ability to sell them due to lost cost living and the great commodities offered in this area. One example of a great commodity is that Kansas City is actually listed as one of the top places to raise children. Our city is known for its safety, local parks and schools.
