@Lee Ripma AMAZING! Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed response and area breakdown, very much appreciated. Yeah when I looked at the higher end properties they don't pencil out for sure, the breakdown of the B-C-D areas is very helpful. @Dustin Street thanks for the additional information on the KS side. I'll definitely leverage this moving forward.

@Dustin Street Bob Stevens did 500 deals and owns half of East Cleveland without doing research or "learning" online... he just knows. No fancy pants questions or information sharing... he just knows. @Bob S. uses the internet not as a tool to learn, but as a pulpit from which to share his omnipotence with the masses. Dustin you may think that he uses the internet to find local REI meetups but you'd be wrong... local REI meetups find Bob Stevens. When Bob Stevens and Chuck Norris sit down for dinner to set the global agenda for the next week they don't read menus or research options... they just order... they inherently just know.

Bob multiple people have pointed out that your initial response may have come across as abrasive. Just a quick note below on how you could have handled things without eliciting the same response.

* If you didn't have any information relevant to the conversation, you could have simply not responded to the post.

* You could have said something like "I don't have any information about neighborhoods in KC and I wish you luck in your search. In my experience people can overemphasize research and it can stop them from actually taking action, try to be sure to balance the two so you're moving toward your investment goals while learning."

For the record I already own investment property in the market and was asking for additional information/insight from other community members (kinda the point of this forum). It is also ironic that you're posting to tell people not to take advice/information from online sources while simultaneously dispensing advice online. I wish you the best in your future endeavors (honestly) and hopefully you'll consider why your response received pushback from multiple community members.

I hope you have a good weekend.

Hey all, just sent out the meeting information via email for 3/11 at 9AM. If you wanted to join but hadn't sent me your email yet please do so and I'll send it your way as well. Happy Thursday and I hope everyone is having a great week.

@Laura Williams I just shot you a connect request and a message there. Happy Thursday!

Hey Ali, I invest in the KC market and have picked up a handful of properties... It's not my full time job but happy to help in any way possible. If you'd like to talk through anything or discuss any roadblocks I'd be glad to help. Feel free to DM me and glad to connect any dots I can for you.

@Caleb Brown the list goes past the "prime" areas all the way down to the 143rd neighborhood. The top does have prime areas though. @Bob S. I wouldn't call reading a list that may provide directional guidance to an OOS investor a waste of time... it's just information. Nothing that I would base a purchase decision on 100% but not harmful information to know.

The question stands. For people familiar with the Market, thoughts on the list and fairly accurate?

Hey all, I came across this online list of neighborhoods in KCMO ranked from 1-143. Reaching out to get some boots on the ground perspective as to accuracy of the list... I'm an OOS investor and have generally bought in East Meyer and looking at other areas. Any insight is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hey all, circling back following the virtual meet-up. It was my first time hosting an event like this and I enjoyed connecting with fellow investors/participants in the KC market. For those who were unable to make it for scheduling reasons, I hope you can make the next one I'll be scheduling for 3/11/23. For those who made it out, thanks for your time, insight and thoughts. For anyone interested that I do not have contact information for, please shoot me your details via DM so I can include you in the next invite.

Thanks again for those who made it and looking forward to continuing to meet and network with other investors in the market.

@Evan Rice care to share who you're using for PM in KC? Asking for a friend...

Hey all, still on for next Saturday 2/11/23 at 9AM PST.  I'm working on how to send out the Zoom link without getting flagged in the BP system. Hoping to get it sent out later today and if for some reason it gets flagged my email is in my profile if you reach out to me there I can share it... I'm not 100% on policy of posting zoom links or personal email directly in forums.

If we're connected and your email is in your profile I'm pulling that information together to send the meeting information there too. Looking forward to next weekend.
