Hey @Brendyn Dabrowski I think you are on the right track for your list.  I would just be weary of over generalizing the areas.  For example: Most of Overland Park is in an A to A+ neighborhood for sure, but there are definitely some B areas.  The same concept applies for Olathe.  Most of the city is an A area but there are definitely B and C areas in Olathe.

Prairie Village is probably the trendiest spot for the average homeowner to buy right now, so I'd likely bump that rating up.  One of my investor clients will only buy in PV right now.

Also, in my personal opinion, I think Mission, KS is one of the most undervalued areas in Johnson County. I would rate it much higher than a C+.  I think it's an easy B area on it's way to an A. If you can find a good property there, I would seriously consider it.  My business partner and I recently lost out on a duplex there and we're still kicking ourselves for not offering more for it.

You also may consider adding Roeland Park, KS to your list. It's in the same ballpark as Mission, KS.  Seeing quite a bit of rejuvenation.  Plus with the surrounding cities being so popular (Prairie Village, Fairway, Westwood, OP) and the shortage of inventory on the market these 2 areas are getting a lot of the spillover for renters and home buyers.

I can't speak too much on the Missouri side as I mostly focus on Johnson County, KS, but I hope that helps.

Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions!

Hi BP,

I'm looking for a good real estate attorney in the Kansas City area.  I figured instead of combing through 100's of websites, I'd see if anyone has any good referrals.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

That's great advice @Christopher Hunter .

Also, thanks to everyone who has posted on here so far! I've made some great connections already, and it's barely been 24 hours.

@Brant Richardson - Thanks for the advice on the pod casts. I haven't listened to one as of yet, but I have a strong feeling that I'll be listening to quite a few.

@Ray Orellano - It's good to see a fellow BP user from the Kansas side of the KC metro! I'll be sure to keep you in mind for any wholesale deals I come across. PS I checked out your website, and I must say, "I'm a huge fan of your YouTube video." Definitely a creative way to show case all that your organization can offer.

Hi @Kendall Chamberlain . It's good to see you're a member here too. Small world. I'd love to hear your ideas and keep in touch.

Thanks for the book suggestions @Paul Timmins . I'll take a look at those tonight.

Hi Payden Miller and Rayanna Scott ! Good to see there are fellow REI's in the Kansas City area. Perhaps we could start a group ourselves and share some best practices (or potential best practices for us newbies) in the KC area? Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Christopher Hunter ! Thanks for the welcome. Any advice on getting started wholesaling for a newbie?

Thanks @James Wise. Any advice from a fellow Realtor on getting started in investing?

Hi Everyone!

I'm a new member in the Kansas City metro area.

Currently, I work as a real estate agent and in B2B sales. I stumbled across this community while looking through wholesaling articles and have been unable to leave! I love all of the great information and discussions that are available on every possible aspect of REI.

I'm currently looking for networking opportunities, and advice on wholesaling, as this is the next step I'd like to focus on in my real estate career.

Looking forward to connecting with everyone,

Nick
