Like the others say you have to run ALOT of deals to find the good ones. For example Kansas City's market supply is 2.4(anything below 6 is a sellers market) and prices since 2016 have risen 180K-225K. You also have to look at your numbers and adjust to the market. There is a mix of things to look at but don't wait to invest. Always a great time to invest :)

Along with what Jeremy said a PM is very crucial too!

@Dave Meyer


It'd be best to stick to the real estate industry. You could add another branch from BP but be named something else and have a different mission. Just a thought.

@Nathan Roberts

I like the conventional route for equity reason and lower monthly payments. I like FHA because it's only 3.5% and I can use the other funds for other deals or marketing. I got a few referrals for PM but I'll research them. Totally agree on the partnering part. Thanks for the advice!

@Jonathan Hulen right. Loans are a good vehicle but if you aren’t educated in using them they can be. Most successful investors here are the exemption. I disagree with Dave Ramsey with avoiding mortgages and sticking to mutual funds.

@Chris Wilkening I’ve been consuming Dave’s content for a few weeks and he’s big on no debt and saving. He doesn’t go into real estate investing and is the old fashioned investor where you save everything. Personally I get where he’s coming from but his approach doesn’t work for some people. His approach is for people who don’t budget and can’t control their finances. Just my personal take on him.

I like the idea of @Jim Blackburn, depends too how much multi family is there.

I work with investors as an agent. What do you like in an agent and what drives you nuts?

Looking to improve and network :)
