Evictions and Inspections in St. Louis, MO

[Brennan Veikle]

Every year I go through at least a couple evictions in my rentals. The costs of legal fees, loss of rent, cleaning and repairs, and costs of the rental inspection and MORE repairs are killing my ROI. Besides better tenant screening, double damage deposits, etc., is there any other way to keep costs down while going through the eviction process? Do you need a rental inspection EVERY time you get a new tenant in St. Louis? Even if it's only been 3-6 months since the last inspection? Any advice is appreciated!
