Let’s Figure Out The Goal Before We Look At Houses

I know it’s exciting to think about being an income property owner.  By the time you are ready to pull the trigger you have been reading, searching the web, probably talked to a real estate agent or two and maybe even attended some type of investment property guru seminar.  But, let’s figure out the goal before we go look at houses.

As much as possible I like to meet people at my office before we go out and look at houses.  For twelve years I have worked with rental property buyers and I have a lot of experience in what to look for, what to avoid and how to figure what that property’s actual returns will look like. If we immediately just meet at a house or jump in the car how can I really help you unless I know what the end game is all about?

It is wise to be in a bit of a hurry.  The economy is changing and income property does not appear to be getting less expensive.  But please, I’m getting paid to help you figure this out before you buy and not after you already own something you wish you would have passed on.  I’m here to help.  Let me help.

Kansas City Bike MS – Chris is Riding

As some of you know I like to ride a bike.  And this year more so than most.  I used to ride the dirt/rock trails but as I’ve been getting older (no fault of my own) I notice that I don’t like the pounding as much so I’ve put new front gears and road tires on my mountain bike and I’m getting through some distance each ride.

Now I’m going to join the Kansas City Bike MS ride from Olathe to Lawrence and then back again this September 14-15, 2013.  I’ll be doing the 38+ mile loop each day.  Maybe one day if I buy a road bike I’ll do the century…but not yet.

Please donate to Bike MS – It’s for a good cause.

Part of the ride is raising funds for MS research and treatment.  Many of you know I have a daughter with Cerebral Palsy.  There is no ride for that.  So I’m going to ride happily for MS.  And I’d like it very much if you could support my ride.  $1 or $100. Anything would be appreciated.
