This is a terrible area. Hard pass if it was me. 

Hi Chandra, I realize this is an old post and my question is non-responsive, but did you end up using Guardian? If so, how has it worked? I'm considering it.

thanks!

Hello, 

I own a 12-plex, built in the 1920's, with a decorative awning that is deteriorating. It is a three-story building, so the awning is high and it seems most handy-man types are not willing to tackle the project. Does anyone have a recommendation for me? The building is located at 3606 Baltimore, KCMO. If you google it, you can see the awning I'm talking about.

Thanks!

I own several small-medium sized multi-family buildings in mid-town Kansas City, MO. I’m looking for a landscaping company that can do routine mowing and minimal additional landscaping work, such as trimming, mulching, and occasional new plantings. Does anyone have a company or person they recommend?

Also, anyone have any thoughts on how much landscaping matters for B-C class multi-family?

Thank you!

I've had experience with several management companies in town.  Of them all, I found North Terrace to be the  most competent and  honest.  Best of luck to you.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an independent leasing agent or company in Kansas City, MO?  I own about 100 units in midtown Kansas City.  I recently formed a property management company to manage our properties only, and I'm looking for help with leasing.  My husband is a co-owner and has is real estate agent/broker license, so I don't believe the agent would need to be licensed, although I have not researched this issue.  Thanks in advance!

I use a property manager to manage my portfolio and one of my big concerns is slow turnover of vacant units.  Between getting a unit ready for showing, showing, and leasing, it can take a few months.  I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for incentivizing property managers to turn units quickly.  For example, offering 100% of one months rent instead of the typical 50% commission if the units are turned in X amount of time.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Also, does anyone have any rules of thumb regarding how quickly units should turn-over?  I'm talking about apartments in a desirable part of town with low-inventory.  thanks!
