New OOS investor looking at KCMO area, want to meet some folks

[Joe DeSimpliciis]

Hello all, I'm a newbie out of state investor planning to make my first investment this year in KCMO. 

I'm originally from the NYC area, now living in CA, both very expensive areas that are a bit difficult to break into for someone like myself. After researching a few areas and hearing some great things I've decided to focus on KCMO. I've spoken with a few agents and PMs already and am working on narrowing down some specific neighborhoods to give my full attention. I'm also looking to start chatting with contractors so I'm happy to take some referrals!

With this post I'm mostly looking to meet some others who are eager to discuss some of their experiences and knowledge of the area and investing in general. If anyone wants to chat feel free to reply or DM me, I look forward to hearing what you have to say!

@Joe DeSimpliciis Welcome to BP. Kansas City is a great choice. We've been operating in KC for almost 10 years with a lot of success but you definitely have to know which neighborhoods perform. We focus on the suburbs east of the 435 loop including Independence, Raytown, South Kansas City and Grandview. Most of these areas are good with a few spotty areas. They can vary between B and C class neighborhoods however, so you need to define your criteria and know the neighborhoods well or work with someone you trust that does. Feel free to reach out if you want some insight or help.
