Determined Kansas City First Time Investor.

[Jonathan Hernandez]

Alright So I’m looking to buy soon ( hopefully 1-3 months from this post.)

I’m in no rush at all, just a personal goal to find a deal in that time frame and go for it.

I’ve been looking a lot into Dallas ( I live in California ) but i keep going back in forth simply because I havnt  found a good deal as of yet. 

Currently I’ve been having my interest in Kansas City. What areas in Kansas City would be best for buy and hold?

Looking primarely into MultiFamilies but have no problem with Getting into a Single family and holding that either. It will obviously just come down to the Numbers and the cash flow. 

If you are one, or know any agents that have experience working with investors from the area let’s talk. 

If you’re currently investing in Kansas City, hows it going for you? 

What Area are you investing in? 

In other words I’d like to know the Good, The Bad, And the Ugly of Kansas City. 

Any insight you may have for a first time out of state investor looking into Kansas City

Would be greatly appreciated. 👍

@Dax Gurr  I spent a couple days last week driving through neighborhoods in KC on the Mo side.  I have found that Trulia’s crime map more or less tells the story on where the bad areas are.  However, in the urban core, there are pockets of “ok” blocks or streets, I could definitely tell a difference as I drove through.  Be sure to talk to local realtors and property managers to find those pockets if you choose to buy in the urban core. 

Good areas (lower crime and nicer/newer houses) are east of 435, north of the river, and down in the southern suburbs.  West of The Paseo looked good too.
