I’m very familiar with the city but have been gone three years, so curious what’s happening on the ground.

The City Board met twice a month. 

Then post something in the group saying "I am an investor looking to buy properties in (insert specific cities)."

Let's assume that the neighborhood is a C class and the median income of the city is greater than 3X of the market rent.Here are some of the considerations I've come up with so far:- Units are in need of renovation and capex is too high or not available- Unit quality is not the same as market - Seller is worried about losing tenants due to increase- Vacancy rates are high or filling units have been difficult- Rent increase would take multiple increases over multiple lease periods to get to market rate if seller is trying to retain the same tenant- Seller inherited property and just want to liquidate- Seller needs to liquidate quickly (financial burden, sickness, quick exit from land-lording)It seems like I might be missing a warning sign about a deal if they are selling with current rents that are under market; but again, this seems to be most of the properties I've underwritten.And in the same vein, what should I be worried about when purchasing a deal with under market rent with the intention of raising them after purchase. 

I understand some of the economic factors that can lead one to a particular city or province (or state), but unsure of some of the key elements as you funnel down below that level.Appreciate any insight.Tyler 

I created a guide to the Kansas City Area that will hopefully be helpful for others looking to invest in Kansas City! 

I did have a relative living there and my wife went to school there so I had some familiarity with the city. 

An analysis of the data also shows that the city north of Austin grew 10.6% year-over-year, making it the fastest-growing city of at least 50,000 people.

@HaiderFord is also talking about the impact on Memphis.Here is an article Ford put out 12/24https://fordauthority.com/2024/12/ford-blueoval-city-set-to-...

I generally recommend if you're not going to buy a property in the city/market where you currently live, the next best place to look is where you have family (and presumably a place that you'll visit relatively often and easily).What is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper", assuming you buy in Peoria or a similar priced Midwest market?
