Timeline & foreclosure

Kansas is a judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom

Local demand
Wichita and the Kansas City suburbs have the most active buyers. Rural Kansas has thinner pools, so the matched network is how you avoid lowball offers.

Glossary
Key terms for investment property in Hays.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Hays property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
- Assignment
- Selling your purchase contract to another investor before closing. The end buyer takes title; you collect an assignment fee.
- DSCR loan
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio loan that qualifies on the property's rent — not your personal income. The standard way to scale past Fannie's 10-financed-property cap.
