When I first started learning about real estate investing I thought that Lawrence, KS (my college town) was the perfect place for me to invest. I know the area well, I have family living there, and I can afford properties in the area.

Lawrence doesn't seem like a bad place to invest -- I have already identified a few properties that I think could make me a decent cash flow, but I've seen a lot of discussion about Kansas City, MO being a good place to invest on this blog. I decided to look into KC. It looks like there are some great deals there to me, but I'm nervous about investing in an area I don't know as well -- and getting myself into a sketchy area.

Any one out there have advice on where I should go? Any reason KC, MO is better than KC, KS? What about the surrounding areas? If anyone knows anything about Lawrence, that would be great too!

For context -- I live in west LA, and I'm looking to buy a multifamily property that I don't have to do much (if any) work to.

Thanks in advance for your help, BP friends :)
