Kansas City, Mo. what neighborhoods to look at / avoid?

[Ramsey Blankenship]

My partner and I are multi-family investors who live in areas where investing is difficult. After conducting some market research, we have narrowed our search to 3 cities each. Now it is time to understand the neighborhoods of each city.

Any investors/agents/managers in Kansas City, Mo. familiar with the area willing to share an area overview?

Kansas City has shown great population growth, job growth, median HH income growth, and crime is on a downward trend. It appears to be affordable however I am unfamiliar with the area and need help identifying the specific neighborhoods to avoid.

Thanks in advance!
