My nephew Aaron is serving "over there" I asked him on Facebook what he wanted; here is the list he sent me.
SPC Edsall Aaron C 3rd PLT 1st SQD 808 EN CO 884/EN BN APO 09322 would like you to send him and his fellow troops:
Beef jerky, gum, and letters of support, biblical passages, movies and anything you'd like to share!
He'd like you to share what God has revealed to you, what you are doing at your church and whatever you want to share.
They love to get movies, candy, gum and above all BEEF JERKY!
I know I can count on my fellow Rainer's and others who read this blog to do the right thing!
Postage charged at the domestic rate so sending stuff to our troops is not very expensive!
Tell him Uncle Ben told you to send it! God Bless our American Troops! God bring them all home safely!
Again address is:
SPC Edsall Aaron C 3rd PLT 1st SQD 808 EN CO 884/EN BN APO 09322
He may wind up sharing it with one of your loved ones!

What the hell is wrong with this picture? Before we elected this cowardly, communist, Muslim SOB we were the most powerful nation in the world!
Now our troops describe themselves as sitting ducks!
My nephew is over there!
Our Generals are asking for help and this cowardly, communist is sitting with his thumb up his ass!
This hasn't happened since Clinton left our troops to be slaughtered in Somalia (Blackhawk Down).
God Bless America! God (JESUS) protect our troops who are fighting for our freedom!
As a broker who has over twenty five years of experience in multifamily properties I like to help investors find deals. Not everyone knows where to find the listings so I thought I would share what is currently on the market with you.
I chose Raytown, MO because I am familiar with the area and I like the rental market there. Turn-Key Properties LLC manages hundreds of rental properties in the area and I have found that Raytown rentals move quickly.
To start with Raytown is a small area nearly completely surrounded by Kansas City, MO. I have included in this search properties from the MLS listed as being in the Raytown School District. With the current and steadily deteriorating condition of the Kansas City, MO school district, we have seen a steady increase in demand for affordable housing in the Raytown area.
Here's the link http://portal.heartlandmls.com/de.asp?k=49468XEEBV&p=DE-1341520-830
Why start with the MLS? I know most serious commercial real estate brokers do not pay much attention to the MLS, but many residential real estate agents often list property and don't know where else to advertise it.
The other site of importance to the multifamily real estate market is of course Loopnet.com I one really interesting listing on that site.
If I may be of assistance to you in seeing or gathering more information about these or other listings give me a call. I know this market inside and out. Ben 816-313-8876
El Dorado Apartments
58 units currently listed at $1,895,000, the property has been on the market for a while.
I am fairly confidant the reason for selling is the fact that the neighboring Wal-Mart and Hy-Vee have vacated the neighborhood. However, the good news is that there has been quite a lot of interest in the site from several large HOME IMPROVEMENT stores.
If that happens you will see an increase in employment opportunities in the area and with that a greater demand for affordable housing.
I like this property for several reasons.

I didn't ask them to sign the exclusive before I left town!
Wow! What a busy week, I've been helping some of the new transfers to the Fairfax Assembly plant in the Fairfax District of Kansas City find homes. Many of them have homes back in Ohio or Tennessee that they still have to sell, many of them are looking to rent until that happens.
One couple from Ohio called me a few weeks ago looking for some property where they can keep a horse. As a horse lover myself, this is something I definitely understand. As we worked on finding them the right home, I learned what really mattered to them.
We had discussed them coming into town earlier, and I had told them I would be out of town Friday through Sunday. They called me early Thursday morning and informed me they were in town!
Oops! We had discussed the idea that they may come in early but I expected to meet the the following Monday!
Don't panic, just make appointments and gas up the truck, were going to do some serious driving. They had driven all night and wanted to see properties NOW!
While driving to meet them I called several of the agents to schedule showings, I lined them out in my GPS and picked up the family. They were happy to see I was driving a CHEVY, and said they wouldn't use a Realtor® who drove a foreign car!
We drove over 130 miles Thursday, and in all the rush I didn't have them sign an exclusive. The Friday trip was planned in advance and I had no choice but to go.
We shook hands and I told them I would be back Sunday night. I handed them a stack of MLS print-outs to check out and bid them good night.
Friday and Saturday I had no cell phone service at all. On my way home Sunday I called them to see if they had tried the restaurants I had suggested while they were in Kansas City. I told them we would get a fresh start at it on Monday morning and we would find them a new home.
Checking my messages I found that several agents had met with them over the weekend and they had all tried to sign them up! My clients told them they had shaken hands and that was enough for them.
Monday we drove another 100 miles or so and finally fell in love with a beautiful home on acreage North of Kansas City in a little town called Gower, MO. It had nearly 8 acres, a great pond full of Bass and Catfish, three bedrooms a basement and plenty of wildlife!
We had traveled from Lenexa, KS to Harrisonville, MO back to Lenexa, KS up to Smithville, Lake, Mo and finally wound up in Gower, MO.
Their two little pre-school girls had sat all this time in the confines of the back seat of my truck and been complete angels.
I ordered a pizza to be delivered to my office at 6:30 PM we came back to Kansas City and ate pizza until all the forms were signed.
I really love working with honest hardworking folks who still believe in the value of a handshake!
Welcome to Kansas City GM Fairfax workers, I hope all of you find an agent you can trust and work with too!

Please call me if I can help you find a home in the Kansas City Area, weather you are a GM employee, or whatever you do. I know the areas, the properties and I will listen to what you are looking for. If a handshake is good enough for you, it's good enough for me!
As an Accredited Equestrian Real Estate Professional I have special knowledge and training in helping you fulfill your horse property or equestrian property dreams.
And YES I do Drive a Chevy!
Turn-Key Properties LLC where a handshake still means something!
Forever trying to come up with innovative and out of the box marketing ideas, I sat on this one for some time. Since Kansas has disposed of the old inducements law, I am now free to offer something to my clients to show my appreciation.
Missouri is still stuck in the mud with outdated rules, but thankfully I have the privilege of working in both Kansas and Missouri.
I first called the instructor at the real estate school where I take my CE classes. Brad Barker informed
me he was 99% sure that offering a horse or most any other chattel was OK with the KREC, he also suggested I ask them. So I timidly called the guys in the Capital City and posed a question: Can I offer a horse to a buyer if they close on the deal?
I expected either a stiff "no" or a "sure you can"; what I got was silence. Seems it had to go before the board to be decided. In the mean time I set about deciding what horse I might offer. I asked my wife if we could cut one from the remuda and offer it as an advertising promotion.
My wife is rather fond of her stock and doesn't see them as chattel the way I do. But I built her a website for her "horse business" and in the three years it has been up I don't think she has ever looked at it. So I parked some AdSense ads there for income. Since the horse market crashed even before the real estate market, I have been looking for a way to thin the heard.
Finally after a few weeks I received a letter of confirmation from the KREC, they had decided that offering a horse (or other chattel) was perfectly legal. They did express concern about civil liabilities though so I talked to my Kansas Real Estate Attorney. She discussed it with some other lawyer types and thought I should have a disclaimer.
Her disclaimer was short and sweet:
DISCLAIMER: THE HORSE IS A GIFT. IT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TURN KEY PROPERTIES OR ITS AGENTS OR OFFICERS BE LIABILE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER AFTER THE DATE OF THE GIFT.
Mine was a bit longer; In fact it required an entire web page: Free horse, disclaimer .
So off I go to get those listings! I may even offer a free horse if you buy the car wash in KS I have for sale.
I do work with equestrian property in Missouri and Kansas, so this may be a way to get noticed!

Commercial, Residential and Multi-family. Our specialty is investment property.
We are Kansas Cities investment property experts! While many other agents will sell you an investment property we are more interested in finding you one that you want to buy. Most residential real estate agents sell pretty kitchens to soccer mom's, they could no more break down a Cap Rate or an Internal Rate of Return than get you a good deal on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Unfortunately many real estate investors come to us too late, their "buyers agent" has sold them something that has little or no cash flow and they are desperately trying to survive. Many others buy pie in the sky marketed by slick salesman as having great cash-flow potential. While either it is vacant and will never realize the exaggerated rents predicted or the seller filled it up with warm bodies to "fluff" the rent roll, the end result is lost money.
With 25 years of Property Management experience and a real understanding of what is a realistic rental rate and what will cash flow, Turn-Key Properties LLC is your one stop investment property shop. From locating and acquiring the property to management, rent collection, tenant selection and ultimately liquidation of your asset. Turn-Key Properties LLC is the solution.
