Real estate investments · Kansas City

Giving Kansas City homes a second life.

We buy houses that need work across the Kansas City area, renovate them with a trusted local team, and then sell them to new homeowners or keep them as long-term rentals.

01 — Who we are

We invest where we live.

Hartley Capital is a Kansas City real estate firm. We buy houses that need work, renovate them with local contractors we know by name, then sell them to new homeowners or keep them as long-term rentals.

Every property we take on is one we would be proud to drive past, because we probably will.

About the name: Hartley comes from Old English words for a stag and a woodland clearing.

02 — How we work

Acquire. Restore. Sell or Hold.

i.

Acquire

Single-family homes and small multifamily across the Kansas City metro and nearby towns, bought as-is, whatever the condition.

ii.

Restore

Full renovations managed start to finish with a small, trusted team of local contractors.

iii.

Sell or Hold

Each finished property goes where it does the most good: to a new homeowner, or into our portfolio as a well-kept rental.
