I also have a contact.  Feel free to PM me if you still need insurance.

@Logan Freeman- Thanks and Happy New Year! 

Congrats!  I've never heard of a property essentially meeting the "3 percent rule."

@William Robison - Are you noticing any difference in vacancy in smaller units (i.e., studio to 2 br) versus larger units (3 br and larger)?

It's hard to come by unbiased data on this, but does anyone have any access to data showing rental vacancy rates in MO, per county?  I know there's been growth of housing supply in the KC area.  There's also a lot of units on the market for rent now, seemingly more than prior years, even considering it's the middle of winter.  Year over year comparisons would be helpful.

Congratulations!

@Aliz Raksi - Sounds like a good deal.  Are you going to take out a long-term mortgage on the property or get a home equity line?  A home equity line might allow you to cover costs as they come up and still cash flow.

I recently bailed on purchasing a 4-plex I was going to rent out.  The ages of the furnaces were as follows: 25+ years, 17 years, 17 years, and 19 years.  Apparently, the coil had been replaced in 3 of them.  Each furnace still worked.  Is replacing the coil a viable option to extend the life of a furnace?
