I would consider a 1031 exchange. A lot of investors look at cash flow markets. I am of course partial to KC but there are many east and west coast people that do invest here. You can get a fourplex for about $500-$650,000 in a high quality part of the metro here with as little as $125,000 or so in equity/cash. Hope that helps. 

Great work here. This is exactly how you use a 1031 exchange to scale up. 

HELOC then cash out re-fi or save up big time and make it a real priority. Stay out of what the Jones are doing and do your own thing.

You came to the right place. You looking for multifamily or single family home?

 Single family most likely but I am not opposed to multifamily as well. Do not want to jump in too deep right off the bat though. 

 My first investment was a 5 plex and then I bought a duplex and then a house. I wish I would have stuck to simply multifamily but everyone has a strategy.

Hi Caleb, sure that would be cool.

End of October and then January. If you DM me I can get you on the notification emails. 

Property management is typically 8%. Leasing is around 2%. If you buy more townhouse style which is what I recommend for first time investors into kc you have no utilities that owners pay other than vacant. You will pay a bit for lawn care and it is up to you if you want to do snow removal. I am a broker here in KC that works with multifamily investors. There is a great network of service providers here in KC.

Welcome to BP. I co-host a multifamily meet up group in KC in overland park at Strang Hall. Next wednesday 3-6 p.m. No fee, no agenda, membership - just networking.

Thank you all!

when you do a 1031 exchange you are able to rid yourself of the property without paying capital gains at the time of sale. If you love the property, keep it, if you don't, 1031 exchange and take all of your equity you have and get into a bigger or better or better located property. The 45 day ID window seem tight but it is not if you have a good agent on your side looking for properties and being in constant communcation. 

Of course I an partial to Kansas City. Great market for 1031 exchange investors looking for cashflow. I recommend A and B markets for first time investors in this area. I can show some good market trends here as well.
