Kansas City, MO - Area Overview

[Emilio Caamano]

Hi Team,

I've been reading for some time on BP
But, I want to get into the active phase to start purchasing my 1st property

I've found some properties en Kansas City, MO. Zip codes 64123, 64128, 64019 (Jackson County)

By any chance there is any content where I can learn about where to invest in KS?

I'm living in Austin, TX

And I've been looking for opportunities in Memphis, Chicago, Little Rock, Kansas City, etc
And of course, interested in Texas, but the prices has been going up fast

Regards,
Emilio Caamano

Emilio Caamano I just wanted to share that I do live in KC and the zip codes you shared are going to be very difficult to rent with quality tenants. I'm sure there is a high ratio of renters in those areas however, it is a very high poverty area. 64123 is in north east Kansas City which I am very familiar with as my dad lives over there. There are certainly some beautiful homes there but it is street by street and mostly only close to the museum. There is gang activity and tons of graffiti. My dad's truck has gun holes in it from stray bullets. The other area is east of Prospect which is super run down and again high poverty concentration.

When in midtown, anything east of Troost can be problematic however, there are some beautiful homes that are well cared for between Troost and Paseo. This is an area for a special investor who will help support people looking for affordable housing.
