Newbie OOS investor to Kansas City

Hey all,

My name is Evan. I'm 28 and I live in San Francisco, California. Due to high prices in the Bay Area, I’ve decided to try OOS investing. I’ve set my eyes on Kansas City because I’ve heard that it’s a good place for cash flow. I plan on visiting sometime in January/February and am targeting single family homes in A or B neighborhoods. From my research, it looks like Waldo, Parkville, South Kansas City, Raytown, Grandville, and Independence are good areas. 
I would love to chat/connect with folks to learn more and am open to any suggestions!

It depends what you mean by South KC, but I would avoid Ruskin in general. Raytown is solid but not great. Independence really depends. Preferably, you want to be east of Noland and south of 23rd (or even further east). Waldo is good but some people call east of Troost Waldo and it is not. Parkville is good. So is Gladstone and most of the "northlands" (Clay and Platte County north of the river in Missouri) if you want to buy up there.
