KC Property Guys invests and rehabs between 30-40 houses per year overall. Each year, we have the pleasure of renovating 2-3 properties for a local educator, fire fighter, medical personal or law enforcement officer under the Good Neighbor Next Door Program sponsored by HUD. The GNND program is an incredible program available for qualified participants to secure discounted homes at 50% of what is typically an already deeply discounted rate. Qualified participants must live in the home for 3 years after purchase and then may continue living in the home as is with well established equity or sell or refinance the home as he or she chooses and the end of the 36 months.
Our role for eligible participants are to locate a prospective home with our in house real estate team and most of the time renovate the home for the client with our KC Property Guys spec finishes including new flooring, paint, granite counters, stainless appliances and all maintenance as required.
We know what you are thinking, these homes have to be the worst. Worst house on the block, worst neighborhood in the area….worst of the worst of the worst. Well, we guarantee you, we will surprise you. It will not be the worst house in the neighborhood when we are done and the inventory of houses are not in the worst areas. Many times, these homes are in very nice and upcoming areas that show excellent signs of growth and tremendous equity scenarios.
