Single Family investing Kansas City/Lees Summit

[Christina Hall]

We’ve been considering investing in Kansas City or Lee’s Summit area. I’ve talked to a few local realtors and done some of my own research. Also have family in the area who have clued us in on the best locations. The 1% rule seems like it’s possible but may be somewhat of a stretch. Anyone invest in this area? Or started investing in it recently? We’re more trying to determine how the market is generally today vs say years ago and what the future potential is in the area. I was told by one realtor that unless we are putting more than 20% down then don’t even bother. Our next step would be to take a trip out there to see some properties first hand. As a CA resident we’ve considered investing out of state and since we have family in Kansas City that was the first market we looked into. Thanks for any help.
