Kansas City Metro CPA Search - 12/28/07 10:39 AM
As I spent several hours on my intitial interviews to find a CPA, I wanted to help my fellow real estate people looking for a new CPA, by providing my notes.  If you have a great cpa you would recommend, please post your recommendations here as a reply to this post.
Several weeks or even months ago, on a local networking message board, everyone was asking for recommendations for a good CPA. I took down all the recommended names and numbers and did a little digging. From conversations with them here is what I have found out, other than those who did … (6 comments)

Kansas City Missouri - 12/13/07 09:48 AM
After reading our local paper the Kansas City Star this morning, you have to wonder What Exactly is going on with our fair city.
 There is a great redevelopment plan for the Bannister Mall Area (I435 and Bannister /95th Street) on the east side of KCMO and it would bring in a lot of redevelopment, and people spending money increasing sales tax revenues.  It would make the area more desirable - right now we have vacant buildings like a ghost town. And would probably spur private development.  Our Mayor does not want to support it because it will cost the city too … (1 comments)

Pre-Screening Sellers - 12/12/07 09:12 PM
By Kim Tucker"The best negotiating technique I can share with you is to always care the least about getting a deal. Sounds simple, and it is. I really haven't read any books that impressed me much, and the fact of the matter really is, the less I want a house, the less I can get if for every time. I really do make offers that make me blush." Direct quote from William Tingle's Ultimate Sub-2 Guide Book.When negotiating with a seller you want to find out why they are selling. Robert Shemin in every one of his presentation's tells us he … (2 comments)

The Real Impact of Monthly Cash Flow ! - 12/12/07 09:09 PM
I make a big deal out of increasing your monthly cash flow, and so should you. It's important to understand the real implications of this because they are huge. Many landlords think the extra $100 per month they create is pretty cool, but do they know what ELSE is pretty cool about that? Do you?Many rental properties are valued based on their "cap rate." If you don't know what a cap rate is, for now, let's just say there's a formula that is used to determine your rate of return. It often creates the price a property is bought and sold … (0 comments)

Judgement Collection - 12/12/07 09:08 PM
I spoke this week with David Kraft (Ron Kraft from Accurate Title - his son) on Judgement Collection. He is an attorney and his main focues is on collection of debts.He gave me the basics on collecting judgements from evictions - I will have to talk in general terms because I have lost my notes:1. When you get a judgement at least in Jackson County Missouri through the housing court for an evicition - usually for back rent and possession, that judgement is really only valid at that court leve and you need to file that judgement with a higher court … (0 comments)

The best way to finance real estate (and other small businesses) today! - 12/12/07 08:45 PM
What's the best way to make money in real estate today?Should you buy ugly property in war zones with no money down techniques, or should you buy pretty houses with your own cash.I say you should buy quality properties without using any of your own money! And I will show you how to do it with an unsecured business line of credit.I don't think that you should only invest in Junker houses using no money down techniques just because you don't have any money. Many of these techniques are simply gimmicks that make you the owner of an over priced property … (0 comments)
