Welcome Frankie, We just moved from the KC market and have established some great contacts with a few wholesalers on the ground there.

Still in the learning phase.

I wouldn't be afraid of it either if I knew that the ground would not continue to cause problems down the road, too.

Its a nice neighborhood, they built some of the homes in the late 60's, the street its on was a cul-de-sac and then they added another phase in the 90's and turned this street into a regular street, so most of the homes on the street are 90's homes and they're are pretty well kept.

Just make sure you have the right foundation(people) set on the ground before you bite the bullet.Thanks for reading and have a great day.

I have not inspected any of the apartments yet, but the common area and grounds seem to be in pretty good shape, just needing paint & carpet etc.

I will give some back ground first, I've been investing lightly for around 10 years.

Unfortunately, the boundaries aren't well defined between the nice part of a neighborhood and the still struggling part of the same neighborhood so you really need to have first hand experience on the ground if you're moving in or investing from out of town.

@Samuel George  in the future find someone you trust on the ground locally in addition to using BiggerPockets like you are doing here!

For instance on some apartment buildings the lease says it has to be on the ground with a pole in specific location versus mounted on a roof etc.No legal advice.
