Sugar Creek and Independence, Missouri

[Brent Kiger]

I am an investor in the Kansas City market, and have some property in Independence, MO. Since investing there, I am being drawn to look at some properties north of Independence towards Sugar Creek. There is a duplex in particular that I'm looking at. I was curious if there are other investors here that are familiar with the Sugar Creek area. The main reason I ask is because I've heard some bad things about the area in north Independence and Sugar Creek.

Any insight would be much appreciated.
