@Pete M.- No, no inspection.  I'm not even sure one is required at the start.

@Pete M. I registered my new property there earlier this week. The fee was $40 for an SFR. Did the City already assess a fine on you for not having it registered?

@Evan Liu- I've been investing in Kansas City from out of state.  Feel free to PM me for recommendations.  

@Colton Boyer- Start with your goals, then work back from there.  The KC area is a diversified economy, so you wouldn't find a mutual fund / ETF that is specific to KC-centric industries.  

It kind of begs the question - why would you want to stick with only local investments when ETFs bring you the diversification of investing across the entire US (or other countries if you prefer)?  If you live in KC, you're probably heavily tied to the KC economy anyways.  

Agree with other posters that the Super Bowl win, while long overdue and well-deserved for the Chiefs, will not have any long-term effect on the KC economy.

@Maurice Dydell- Welcome to BP!

Welcome to BP.  I'm from Shaker Heights originally.  

Look up the property on realtor.com then compare the map that comes up with the map on trulia.com.

Looks good so far!  let us know how it all turns out. 

Congratulations on the purchase.  I see you're from out-of-state and using Community America CU for the loan.  I'm from out of state as well and have wanted to use Community America for loans, but they appear to have pretty stringent requirements as to who can be a member; you either have to work in KC or be related to a family member who is already a member.  How did you describe yourself so you could be a member?   

@Rob Bianco- I don't think $750 / mo is far out of line for that area.  I have a similar property south of there in Raymore that rents for less, but it's smaller sq footage.  You're dealing with the seasonal slow-down.
