Kansas City Rental Market

[Drew Kimminau]

Hi Everyone,

I recently moved to the KC area and I am looking to start investing in the area. This is a pretty general questions and any answers will be beneficial. I have been looking into Johnson county which is pretty expensive compared to the rents you get, but I am assuming it's not too risky because of the higher quality of tenant. I have also been looking into Independence and Raytown. Both a little cheaper and a better rent to price ratio, however I mainly want to know about the tenant base there. If anyone owns property there, how long does it generally take to get a quality tenant in place? Final area is anything north of the river maybe liberty area? Any comments about that area? Again thank you for any words of wisdom.
