Duplex (North Kansas City)

Hi All,

I'm looking to begin negotiations on purchasing a duplex in the North Kansas City area (north of river). Does anyone have any insight about this area and about the market from a competition perspective? The property I want to acquire is currently renting at 100 - 150 below market and I'm wondering if this is a red flag? Otherwise, the property is in great shape and checks out in almost every other way. Thanks for the input!

    If your from Independence you should know North of the river can be dicey.  It would just depend on where.  Without an exact address it is hard to say.  I would suggest you use google maps and see if you can take a "drive" around the neighborhood and get a feel for it if you don't want to give out the address, which I totally understand.  If your from Independence though, it won't take you long to drive over there and would be well worth your time for that area.  Bars on the windows is a good sign its bad, hahaha!!!  Just kidding.  Well, maybe not if it really has them.
