Project River Oaks Location: 14500 Craig (Grandview) 4 Bedrooms / 2.5 Baths / Granite Counters / 2 Car Garage Estimated Time of Arrival: Late December Early January Estimated List Price: $140,000 Vizion did a home in the River Oaks subdivsion last summer.  A lot has changed since then.  Even though these two houses are in the same price range its hard to beat a newer generation Vizion home.  And if that wasnt enought how about this….It backs up to a golf course.  The finished basement and open floor plan will make this a great house for entertaining.  I will make sure to keep everyone posted on the remodel.  Upon arrival this home with the best equipped and the best priced home in the area. vizionkc.com

Crews are scheduled to start work on Project Brookside this week. I’ve been waiting on Vizion to do a Brookside home ever since Project Dartmouth last year.  Vizion homes in Brookside are done with solid surface granite and stainless steel appliances.  Upon completion this home is expected to list for $325,000. Project Brookside will be a four week job which mean this home will be ready well before Christmas.  Get your pre approvals taken care of today.  I will keep everyone posted on the progress of the remodel.

It's A Tough Market Out There! I had a pointer sign up at an intersection on the outskirts of Kansas City directing traffic to a listing. One of those big tractors with a grass mower attachment came along and ran over my sign, mangling it slightly. After bringing the sign back to the office and propping it up against my desk, several people asked me what happened to my sign. Rather than explaining about the tractor, I just replied "It's a Tough Market Out There!" Everybody laughed so I thought it would make a good picture. Hope you enjoy it!

Looks like Project Brookside is moving along swiftly I spent roughly and hour at the property today with a few other members of Vizion,   @mightywaldo explained to us his rehab plans in great detail so that everyone would know what was going on.  This house is being done for an investor in California and it is his first property with Vizion. I’m sure that after this property is completed our California investor will want to do several more homes. After all, Vizion’s last property 8205 Kenwood sold after only 7 days on the market. If Project Brookside sells in just 60 days the buzz around Vizion is sure to get quite a bit louder. The Kenwood investor has already moved on to his next investment, a property in the highly desired River Oaks subdivision of Grandview, MO. Project Independence...

Cosentino's plans to open the new grocery store in downtown Kansas City on November 1st. The store at 13th & Main will carry a variety of foods including pasta, pizza from a wood burning oven, a sushi bar, a huge salad bar, and your essentials such as bread, milk, and laundry detergent. Having a grocery store means the more than 12,000 people living downtown will no longer need to travel miles to stock up. This is a huge step forward. Downtown dwellers who also work downtown will no longer even need to own a car. They'll be able to walk or bike to work, musical entertainment, sporting events, art galleries, restaurants and bars. How convenient it would be to just walk out your door and be where you need to be without finding your keys and driving - talk about stress reduction! Getting r...

Talk about diversity, I took this picture a few weeks ago I thought it was funny. Man, times must be tough in the real estate market. This guy has all his bases covered, from this one house are the offices of used cars, hair and nail salon, real estate and insurance companies. Damn, If he had a shed out back he could have a title company too! So come on in, buy a car, get your hair done and buy yourself a new house. If you need some insurance for that new car or new house we can handle that too! I'm guessing he will get into property management also, everyone else is. I love the name, Multiplicity Real Estate, do you suppose they live there too?

A few people have been asking me why I’m so excited about Vizion doing two homes in Brookside.  While I could easily rattle of a few facts about how great Brookside is or how Brookside is one of the most highly desired areas in the city to live in, I figured that I would just show everyone some pictures of what a Vizion Brookside house looks like.  After all a pictures worth a thousand words. The Original Project Brookside It’s been more than a year since Vizion has done a Brookside house and coming up very quickly Vizion will be doing two Brookside properties back to back….literally.  Project Brookside is located right behind the new Project Dartmouth.

Word on the street is that Vizion will be closing on a property in North Kansas City by the end of this month.  This is very exciting news since Vizion has never done a property north of the river.  I should have details on this property by Monday and I will post an update around that same time.   Stay tuned for details.

We just posted an ad on Loopnet today about an 8-property cash-flow package we are offering here in Kansas City, MO.   Let us know if you'd like to take a closer look!

Does your sports team suck? If so Kansas City would love to have them! We built a huge arena but don't have a team to occupy it, we don't really care what kind of sport it is; NBA Basketball, NHL Hockey, heck we'd even take your WNBA team if we can have 'em. The Kansas City Sprint Center is a great place, we paid millions for it, and inspite of the fact that it has housed hundreds of spectacular events we still don't have a team. We have a Baseball team, The Kansas City Royals who fnished the season 75-87, 4th place in AL Central Division. We have the Kansas City Chiefs who are currently 1 and 4. So we have a lot of experience with sucky teams we'd love to have yours too!

Apparently a Chicago Sheriff has seen enough innocent tenants tossed out in the street. My understanding of the situation is that many of these tenants continued to pay their rent each month and were surprised to find out that the landlord had lost the house to foreclosure. Instead of working with the tenant paying rent in the property the bank prefers to foreclose, evict the tenant and take the property back on its books. I could be wrong but that sure seems like a strange way to do business especially with so many bank failures taking place and bank owned properties already on the market. It seems to me that a smarter way to do things would be to keep the tenant in the property paying rent and then put the property up for sale as a cash flowing rental. If the bank doesn’t want to deal...

We are looking at another major drop in the stock market today because of the continuing tightening credit market, now worldwide in its effect.  More than ever, our REIT (real estate investment trust) MONEY is more important to sellers of homes nationwide.  REITs are not like banks. People worldwide are pulling their cash out of banks and thus freezing up the capital that normally is needed to make loans. REITs operate from investor funds already put into the REITs.  REITs only make money by USING the money, not holding on to it like banks. REITs don't leverage Loans from the Federal Reserve and other banks as the banks and lenders have to. This is why more and more people are joining HSA.  Sellers can't sell without fluid capital from some source. You can be that source. You still have...

Now more than ever many people with 401(k) accounts are considering what to do.  While 401(k)'s have some advantages, they are quite disadvantaged compared to select types of IRA accounts.  It is suggested that a person who wants to rollover a 401(k) plan to an IRA choose a self-directed IRA account. There are many positive advantages to this choice, and this I'll explain why it is better. An aspect of this worth talking about here is the ability to have a self-directed 401(k). Though this sounds similar to a self-directed IRA, it is quite different.  For one,, although investment options are more varied with a self-directed 401(k), there are still many limits to what can be done. Some employer plans impose limits on the portion of the account that can go into the self-directed part of ...
