Kansas City Team! Who’s the Best?

Question

It’s 2021!

I set goals for myself to purchase 2 properties in 2019, done.

I set goals for myself to purchase 3 properties in 2020, done.

I have goals to purchase 3 more properties this year.

I’ve faced some challenges with my duplex in Kansas City. My team that is suppose to support me has continued to be a challenge. I want to invest more in the Kansas City area...but before I can feel better about investing further, I need to make some adjustments. I need to improve my network.

I want to grow my business much faster than I have the past 2 years and would love to network with others to improve myself. Improve my contacts.

What have you guys done to grow more quickly? How can I make Kansas City work better for me?

@Jeremy Helsabeck How have you been buying and what are you needing help with?

You need a good lender, build trust with your agent so you aren't wasting your time or theirs, and have a PM that handles your issues. Insurance also helps.

If you find a good PR, please let me know.  We live and invest in St Joseph, MO.  Even though KC is only 45 minutes south, we (my husband and I) do not have the time to allocate to 2 hours driving for problems that arise. I would tell you that Smithville,MO is a growing suburb of KC.  Looking for rentals just yesterday was not fruitful however.  Seems everyone wants to live in Smithville.  Apartments around KU Medical Center would likely be attractive due to the student population for PT,OT, nursing and medical school,  These students have 2-4 yr programs so they tend to remain tenants for awhile.

Let me know if you find a good team.

And that’s what I’m looking for. In the process of making some changes with my current “team”. Is Kansas City your main market for investing?

@Jeremy Helsabeck

I’d say have a better team/support staff for scaling. That makes it way easier to scale
