Independence, Missouri SFR, Multifamily

[Kyle Bradbury]

Hello, 

I'm looking to invest out of state. I work for the Railroad and my territory is California. As you probably know, California is a expensive to invest in compared to the majority of the country. Im looking to begin investing in Missouri, a majority of my family lives in the state in the suburbs of Jefferson City & St. Louis. I'm interested in doing LTR in Independence, Missouri looking at SFR or Multifamily. I've asked about areas with my family but they don't share interests in real estate investing so that only takes me so far. Is Independence Missouri seem like a good investment area and what areas are riskier than others? Any information in general is appreciated.

Thank you
