Fast appreciation and quick flips are an investment model of the past, it seems.  At least here in Kansas City the best way to make money as a real estate investor is going to be your mid-term Buy & Hold strategies.  It's been a while since I've been through it, so bear with me.  THE PURCHASEYou can make quite a bit of money on the purchase of your next investment property.  Yes.  I said the purchase.  Right now with inventories in Kansas City at historical highs and colder weather just around the corner I believe real values are going to be out there to be had. (I saw 3 today!)  TIP: Look for vacant houses in bread & butter neighborhoods close to transportation centers.  Days on market of 60 or greater will play into your purchase plans.  Days on market at about the 170 day mark are pr...

As Overland Park continues to grow, it is getting harder to find great affordable neighborhoods. Sylvan Lake is one of those great affordable neighborhoods. It used to be that there was not much south of 135th. Well that line has moved and the former sleepy area that was Old Stanley is now a bustling stop for young families. Sylvan Lake continues to be a family favorite with it's close proximity to Blue Valley High School and equally close proximity to great restaurants and shopping, you will be sure to find everything a family could want.

It's that time again. No not the chiefs but The Blue Valley Tigers. You got it the undefeated defending state champions are ready to step back on the field. The tigers lost a lot of key players from last years 13-0 team but coach Steve Rampy in his 23rd season always finds a way to field an impressive team.
