I feel stuck!
I am currently looking to buy a duplex property in Kansas City, MO where I can live in one side and get good rent on the other. There is almost no inventory in the areas I desire. I want to stay inside the inner city of Kansas City, but more west towards Hospital Hill, Martini Corner, Westport and Plaza areas. I would like to stay under $175k. Is this possible? Anyone know of any other ways to look besides realtor.com, reece and nichols, KW, etc?

Besides FSBO on Craigslist, Zillow, etc and listings on the MLS I would recommend buying a list of all the properties that meet your criteria in your desired areas. You can either drive to the owners house and talk to them in person or do a direct mail campaign to get them to call you. Many people would consider selling but it is not a priority for them so they put it off especially if it is a income producing property.
