Kansas City Area Investing

[Kevin Gallagher]

Hello, 

I am new to real estate investing and looking for some advice on the current state of the Kansas City area market. Having just bought my personal residence, I am aware that the market is pretty hot in some areas. I am looking to pick up a buy and hold single family or duplex property in the near future. I've done some research on deal analysis and seem to be struggling to find the right area for a good cash flow property. Any suggestions on areas I should be looking?

I am open to areas on the Kansas and Missouri side. 

Thanks, 

Kevin
