Investing in independence missouri

[Christine Anderson]

Hi all. I am new to the independence missouri area and am just starting to invest here. I have one duplex and a second under contract. I am learning more about the area But would love other’s insights into best places in the independence area to invest. A contractor who was doing a walkthrough for me on a property noted independence was getting worse over the years in terms of crime and tenant base. Hopefully just in specific pockets and not where I am investing but would love to hear other’s insight into this who are more familiar with the area.

I live, work and invest in Independence, MO. I am a member of the Affordable Housing and Safer neighborhood committee, with the Independence Chamber of Commerce. I'd love to share with you our plans and our economic development plans for the city in general. I'd also like to know where your contractor is getting his "information" because my average time on the market, to lease a home in Independence, is less than a week. Shoot me a message and I'd be happy to share.
