North of the plaza does have a ton of traffic however depending on location parking can be an issue.  I would look at that potential issue. I'm always willing to stop at office max, Starbucks, and quick trip because I can get on and off Main Street however not as willing to stop at some of the smaller businesses because of parking. If you are relying on foot traffic, keep in mind that KC is a city of cars. Unfortunately, at this time the public transport is used mostly by folks living in poverty  although hopefully some of that will change with the streetcar coming in the future and the bike rental system. Good luck!

East 55th in the area by the zoo would not be a good location but if it is in Raytown that might be better. I'm mostly familiar with midtown/downtown kc south kc and north kc. Otherwise don't know much about the other suburbs. You can private message me if you want to talk more.

It's a great site! I've been listening to podcasts for a year now and love what we are learning. My husband and I are investing in buy and holds in Kansas City north. Dream big!

If you are talking about Bellview ave by the plaza in 64111, that is a great area. There are tons of young people who desire a property in that area. It is one of the best areas to get around on foot. Loads of restaurants and shopping. If you are looking at a condo or six-plex, be careful because the hoas are very high. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hello,

I was wondering if you have a membership type that would give me and my husband an upgrade. i.e. like a family plus or pro membership. We both have our own accounts and don't share one so I wondered if that is something you do. 

Thanks!

Wonderful ideas and very timely. We've had a lot of interest and will start showing this weekend. I will get the application updated!! Thank you!

@Ursula B. Thank you for your quick reply. Those are great points and I will definitely include them. We do have a no pet policy but not everyone reads the whole ad. 

Thank you!!

Sorry about the weird formatting! It is in a table but I couldn't figure out how to attach it and so I just cut and pasted it..

Hello fellow BPers, 

We are ready to market our second investment property and wanted to make sure we updated our application form. I've made some changes but wondered if there was anything else I should ask in an application. I'm pasting it in below. We live in MO if that makes a difference.

Thanks!! Carrie
