Independence, MO

[William S.]

Hi All,

I'm originally from KCMO and have been looking at buying a turnkey rental property for the past several months. My knowledge on KC is limited to Waldo, Brookside, Westport, Rivermarket, Downtown. I've heard that Raytown, South KC, and Independence are good areas to invest, but haven't heard any specific details/information on these areas. For example, what part of Independence is good? Should I stay east of blank street? I'm looking for that level of information to make any decisions moving forward. The houses are typically $60k-$70k with rents of $750-$900. Does anyone have experience with these types of properties? Anyone have the specific information I'm looking for? Thanks!

Msg me so I can get more detailed info. There's no hard and fast rule to give you as indep is a little wonky with what's good and what's not. My niche is 3/1.5 and above for families in good school districts so I stick to Majnly fort Osage and some Truman for rentals.
