Is Kansas City, MO good market for OOS investors??

[Anthony Liguori]

I ran into a property that was seller financed and seems like a good deal.. I was told that the house is a non- conforming property and would not qualify for conventional financing (which is OK with me) .  It was a one family house made into a small tri-plex.. My question is, is this normal for this area (64130) zip code.  I read that zoning officials can cause problems if they are made aware of this and that couldn't potently ruin cash flow.. I also was told this is very common in this area and it wouldn't be a problem. any insight on how this market is?  The house is a new rehab and potential rents would be $1320 for a 3bed/1bath, $850 2bed/1bath, and 1 bed/1 bath $750.. is this the going rate for rent in this area?  all this information was from the PM/owner.  Should i be worried about Zoning officials in that area?
