Kansas City: Tips and Taxes?

[Lucas Morrison]

Hello Bigger Pockets People, I have recently moved to the KC area for work. I have been investing in the central Illinois market over the last year and truly enjoy the real estate world. The change to KC comes with excitement, however, I am not familiar with this area at all! I have stared looking at properties with Ruskin Heights/Hills and Independence seeming like a good bang for the buck but probably more difficult tenants. I would appreciate any tips on what areas are profitable (besides Overland Park... damn that is a pricey area!). I am also struggling to find a CPA in the area with real estate experience, so any referrals would be amazing! Thank you for reading and hope to make new, amazing connections in KC!
