Kansas City BBQ – May Be the Best Part of Investing in Real Estate Here
Okay. I love BBQ. It’s one of the main reasons I ride my bike so much. Well, BBQ and Mexican food. Heck, Kansas City BBQ may be the best part of investing in real estate here. Sure, the returns are great and our property management is awesome. And when you visit I’ll buy you a sandwich at a barbecue you’d like to try.
Smoke grilled pork ribs BBQ
Here are a few of my favorite haunts…
LC’s BBQ – Down in the close-in suburbs of the city, this place is my all time favorite.
Q39 – Kind of a modern, “yuppie” bbq with great recipes.
Kansas City Joe’s – World famous and quite fashionable. Great sausage.
Zarda’s BBQ – I grew up working here. My favorite burnt ends, anywhere.
BB’s Lawnside BBQ – Good BBQ. And, hands down, the best Saturday night.
Of course, I’ve left off quite a few that I like to visit. Here in KC you can get in to a fist fight about the best BBQ. The only thing we all agree on is it is definitely better than Memphis, Carolina and certainly Texas BBQ. 🙂

Free Military Retirement Financial Planning
On May 9, 2019 I will be speaking for The Moreno Group at their Free Financial Planning for Military Retirement workshop. I think it will be a great deal of fun. We’re gonna talk a little about how real estate investing is a good thing for just about anyone AND as a military professional it may just be crucial to a “Retirement worth having.”
Why would I help other agents sell real estate when I sell it myself? Well, that’s easy. First, I love teaching on this topic. Second, I truly believe in the power of real estate as a great investment vehicle for most people. And lastly, heck, I get to promote our property management business over at Ad Astra Realty.
If you’d like to find out more about the event and invite yourself on out, check out the link provided above. I’m sure the Moreno’s would love to have more people hear how to maximize their retirement incomes through the buyer/seller services they can offer.

Two Promises from Ad Astra Realty, Inc
Working in the field of Kansas City real estate investing and property management is not rocket science and yet it is not easy, either. Everyday both myself and my team look at the Kansas City market, make evaluations and recommendations as to which properties look promising and which we’d walk on by.
When it comes to property management, this is a little more complex. So many things can go right, and wrong, with a property. Tenants, pets, local laws and policies, weather, bad luck, good luck, etc. work as variables to make each property and each year unique. To that end we here at Ad Astra Realty, Inc offer these two promises that we will not waiver on;
- We will watch your money.
- We will tell you the truth, even if it hurts.
WE WILL WATCH YOUR MONEY
Do you know what the #1 reason rental property owners have for moving from Company “X to Ad Astra? It’s because property owners have grown tired with their property management company not paying them on time or not giving a full accounting of their expenditures.
So when I say “We will watch your money.” I’m saying that, while not perfect, we will always be able to tell you what you spent your money on and we work very, very hard to get our owners paid on or about the 10th of each month when funds are available. I say “about” because if the 10th falls on a Saturday or Sunday we may not fund until Monday.
We know how important it is for you to know about and to receive your money. To that end, we take our jobs quite seriously.
WE WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH
Let’s face it, sometimes the truth hurts. Maybe we made a mistake. Maybe you are trying to delay and expense because money is tight and yet the tenant needs air conditioning because nighttime temps are still up around 85 degrees.
I call this “Having fierce conversations.” And property management is full of fierce conversations because of all its inherent moving parts that were mentioned earlier.
When we have a relationship based on trust and honesty, nearly everything else can be worked out.
