Inventories are still up on homes for sale. But the nicest homes, priced right, are still moving quickly.

I had lunch today with a young man just beginning his real estate career. He had expressed a little dismay that none of the “top producers” in his office would share their secrets with him. Kind of silly, really. Why not share? There are plenty of houses out there. What we need are agents that know which way is up. I was glad to give him a few basic tips. Hopefully he will take them to heart and kick some rear end here in Overland Park and Olathe.
If you are looking to test the market and see if your home will sell, don’t bother. Too much inventory. Stay off the market so that those who need to sell can.
I had another phone call from a gentleman who wants to sell a property in a questionable neighborhood. He was part of the whole buy low, fix it up, throw a Section 8 tenant in there and sell. Unfortunately, he is the one who bought. Guess who made the money?
Hey Chris,
Would like to here more of your thoughts on buying low, rehabbing and renting to section 8 tenants. This is a strategy that I am applying.
Thanks,
