Anyone investing the Des Moines area?

[David Mulholland]

My daughter is about to start her first year at Drake University. Meanwhile, I am just starting out on this real estate investing journey and while I'd like to invest close to home (I live in Denver), I realize that other parts of the country might be friendlier for cash-flowing multi-family. 

Since I will be taking trips to Des Moines a few times a year for at least the next four years, I thought I'd explore investing there. I'm interested in small multifamily. Is anyone her investing in Des Moines? How has your experience been? 

Thanks for sharing!
