Questions re: a possible move to KC area
Let's say that the boyfriend and I decided to move to the KC area. We're pretty limited on budget, so we're not looking for someplace fancy. Would absolutely love to have 3br, 2ba, and a fenced yard. A two car garage would be great, but, for our price range, I'm noticing most only have one car garages.
Anyway, I'm on sights like trulia and zillow looking around. What are some good local companies that would have houses for rent? Also, even on a limited budget, I know there are areas that we'll want to avoid. Would love something in the 470/435 area. Not sure on a time frame, but, if it's not this Spring, then it will probably be next Spring. And, not sure if you guys would know, but we'd also be looking for a good daycare in that area. Any suggestions for my info gathering? Last edited by luv; 11-07-2017 at 09:43 AM.. |

All I know for sure is that fenced hard is going to send you flying over your budget.

Well, we'd like to stay under $850, but anything I've seen that I think would be halfway decent is at least $950.
We're not opposed to duplexes either. We could go down to 2 br if the place is big enough, but definitely need 2ba. |

Cost of living in Phoenix and Kansas City is quite comparable.

Try $819 per month for a 5 bedroom 2.5 bath and full finished basement. Tried to sell it a few years back and people were saying we were asking too much for it. It was the best value in the city per foot.

The reason was "There were no comps in the immediate radius to pull from so he had to pull from other sub divisions/ areas which traditionally sold for more money, Plus the draw for the Fort Osage schools over Independence. I scratched my head: Why a small 3 bedroom with a weird floor plan would sell for more money that a bigger, newer house, nicer neighborhood. I sold the smaller house for full appraised value right away and after a few months I got lucky and got a cash buyer for the other, therefor no appraisal. I am always surprised at who buys what for how much. Oh and the feedback from guests. Some of the silliest shit I have ever heard.

The only real advice I can give is to avoid using Terry Flood and his company. I've not personally worked with him, but a number of people I've known say to avoid him like the plague.

I once rented my home with them for a year when I had to do a remote project. They were awesome. They help renters too - and can refer you to others |
