Ep. 144: Finding a Kansas City Masterpiece with Logan Freeman

Kansas City is a resurging Midwest market seeing population growth, job growth, strong cash flow, and affordable rents. It’s no wonder out of state investors have turned to the market for strong returns. However, finding a deal and building a team can be a challenge from afar. 

 

Enter Logan Freeman, who is a real estate investor, developer, and agent who works specifically with out of state investors. After Logan got cut from the NFL, he discovered real estate and has helped clients close over 150 transactions. In this episode, he shares details about the KC market, how he cultivates an investor database and why he wakes up earlier than Jocko Willink.
