Investing in Kansas City.

[Rico Nasol]

I am new to investing and I've been looking at Kansas City as a potential out-of-state investment market. I looking to purchase 5-6 properties by the end of the year. I am based in the Bay Area, CA so trying to build a team out there. Want to start with some rental properties and then potentially move into flipping. I have $40k in capital which won't get me very far here in the Bay Area, but hoping I can get started in a more affordable market. Thanks.

As far as out-of-state investing goes, I would recommend reading this article I wrote on it a while back: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/12/23/investing-out-of-state-essential-items-to-vet/. Be very careful as there are a lot of pitfalls with out-of-state investing.
