Kansas City Rental Investing: Roeland Park vs. Mission?

[Matthew Farmer]

Hi - I'm evaluating a property in Mission, KS that is very attractively priced. As I look at rental comps, I'm trying to figure out if the 3/2 marketing in Mission is as hot as Roeland Park. For example, I see some 1,500SQFT 3/2's in Roeland Park renting for +1,750 but I haven't found a comp like that in Mission...yet they literally neighbor each other and are pretty much identical. 

Would anybody have any experience to share if you could expect a Mission Kansas 3/2 rental to price somewhere close to 1,700 to 1,750 like what's going on in Roeland Park?

Hey Matthew, do you live in the area? While I don’t have experience as a landlord or renter in the area, I have been in a number of the homes in the area as a service provider.

My impressions are mixed, first off, I would expect to pay more in Roland park in general, but both are definitely a mixed bag of houses and neighborhoods, so it’s definitely going to depend a lot on the specifics.
