🐺 KC Build-to-Rent | Looking for Strategic Collaborators / Thought Partners
Hey Wolfpack, I’m actively scoping Build-to-Rent opportunities in the Kansas City metro and wanted to open the door to collaboration with operators, investor-agents, or capital partners who are already fluent in BTR underwriting and capital stack design. What I’m exploring: - Product types: SFR clusters, duplexes → 4-plexes (repeatable, rent-durable layouts) - Markets: KC Metro (MO + KS), with a focus on land-bank / infill opportunities and supply-constrained submarkets - Strategy: Long-term hold, BRRRR-adjacent where possible, or build-to-rent / build-to-sell optionality - Lens: DSCR-driven underwriting, conservative rent assumptions, and exit flexibility Where I’d love collaboration or perspective: - Pressure-testing rent assumptions vs. build costs - Structuring clean capital stacks (senior DSCR, pref equity, JV equity, etc.) - Navigating municipal friction (zoning, land bank process, utility costs) - Identifying repeatable specs that keep costs down without killing rent premiums What I bring to the table: - Local KC market knowledge + deal sourcing - Background in planning / redevelopment + infill - Strong bias toward thoughtful design that rents well, not overbuilding - Operator mindset (not looking to spray-and-pray deals) This is not a “who wants to fund this” post — more a signal flare to connect with people who enjoy thinking through scalable BTR models and possibly teaming up where alignment makes sense. If you’re active in BTR (KC or elsewhere) and open to swapping notes or exploring a JV, drop a comment or DM. Even a quick sanity check conversation would be valuable. — David
