In short, no, it is not a bad time to start investing. It is actually a great time. Fewer investors are looking which means your competing with fewer people and you have a better chance of buying an appropriately priced property. And when rates go down, you can refinance. In my view you are a good 6 months ahead of the guy if you buy now. 

@Michell Chase Congrats on getting your first duplex going. Huge step! Speak to an actual advisor that knows active real estate investing. Hope that helps. 

@Kim Tucker Thanks for the shout out! Would love to make it!

Being a KC guy I help a lot of Californai people invest here in multifamily and they come here for cash flow, landlord friendly laws, tenant laws, no rent control, lower property taxes, protection from style of governing.Hope that helps! 

Out of state investing is a risk. Start with where you live, then look to where you want to live, then where family lives - look for the best value for you and your family and your money. A lot of Cali investors look to the midwest. Of course I am partial to Kansas City and help people with their team here. Make sure you have a solid team with a good broker that is honest with you and understands your niche you are buying in.

This is how you use a 1031 exchange. Sell a house and buy a triplex. WOw great work!

Great to see a fellow KC Person here!

 Yes! Just announced. August 22nd, 4:15 p.m. to 6:15 PM after the Interface KC Multifamily Conference Inter Continental Country Club Plaza.

Midwest is a great market for certain properties. Sent you a DM. 

 Best way is to have a broker that is knowledgeable about what you would actually buy, has good referrals, and actually completes transactions in the buildings that you buy.
