In particular Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Blue Springs and North Kansas City.

There are multiple billion dollar companies dumping money into the city, such as Intel, Google, Honda, and Amazon.

Quote from @Jamie Banks: @Jesus Jimenez Right now we are concentrated in the major cities from NY to Richmond, VA including NYC, Newark, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, etc.

@Brandon VanTuinen  FYI the appreciation rate in City of GR is around 6% right now, so you're making around $24,000 a year just living there.

It’s an uphill battle with the city; many investors can look at this and see that this only forces appreciation and get in even though the cost to play is high.Hope that makes sense.

If your goal is to offset your mortgage with a house hack then Lowell would be a good bet, but if you're looking for a longer term appreciation play then the areas closer to the city would be better, although the offset from cashflow may be lower than what you're looking for.A good step for you would be to dig into specific areas more as @Lien Vuong noted above.

In all my years of Property Management in one of the most tenant friendly Cities in the World, I bet there will be a lot of interested people, regardless if they are actually planning on buying in a tenant friendly City.My management style would be considered highly unusual as I approach these issues so that it becomes a win-win situation and take into account the human element of the tenant.There is potential for me to add more to that Podcast to include how the Portfolio did over the 28 years growth period (1998 to 2025) with real numbers.There will be things like making the Portfolio safer as I age by paying off the Mortgages and increasing cash flow, etc.I'm also a Cloud Software developer (Salesforce specifically) and will be employing a lot of A.I. in 2025.The RE Portfolio is cash flowing very well and I can afford to integrate experimental A.I. to test it out.Things like A.I.

Its not near any major cities where someone might look at it as a long play for path of progress.Another option might be to see if a solar farm or wind farm company might be interested once its clear cut. 

Hi BP, would like to hear feedback from all you folks in or near the Kansas City area,Currently I'm looking for a software to help me generate leads, but there's so many of them to choose from, I don't know which is best suited for my area.

Owensboro, the state's 4th largest city, has a population under 100K, and many OOS investors prefer cities with at least 300K residents and strong job growth.
