Good afternoon everyone, I am still very much new and cannot wait to start our real estate journey. Right now I am trying to create some processes/systems while things are slow during these uncertain COVID-19 times. Does anyone mind sharing some contractors in the Wichita, KS area that they have worked with in the past or are currently working with and would recommend. Below is a list of contractors that I’ve pulled from previous older BiggerPockets posts as well as some online research. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the reply Daniel. When/where are the auctions and the meetups?

Thank you for the welcome and the advice Jimmy and Craig!

That sounds great! I'm super eager to learn as much as I can since I'm new to the area and new to real estate. Can you message me some more of the details about the lunch meet up. I would love to join. 

Hello everyone, my name is Ryan Smith and I'm from Orlando, Florida. I am currently serving in the US Military and I'm located in Wichita, Kansas at the moment.

I created a BiggerPockets profile in 2017 but neglected to use it. During that same time my wife and I also rented an apartment in the downtown metro area of a city. Although it was wonder to live in a beautiful high-rise building overlooking the city. Looking back now, we see that we kind of gave away years of rent to a company instead of investing in ourselves. (Hindsight is always 20/20). But three years later we are wiser and have finally decided to use real estate as our main vehicle to propel us into financial freedom. The first step in doing so is to become a very active BP user.

I am a huge fan of “the stack” strategy by Brandon Turner and we are very eager to start our real estate adventure this year and exponentially increase over the coming years. We look forward to engaging with everyone and hope to share success with you all!
