TONS of SFR listings in the Troost corridor heading up to the river and then curving East along independence Ave.But they present many challenges; vacancies  (due to below C market tenant pool), increased maintenance and repair costs (due to below C market), and increased cap ex due to homes in this particular region being older (many century homes).Then, even if at the end of the year it does well from a financial analysis standpoint, you may struggle to find the necessary and diligent and high performing property mgmt necessary to manage said property…so then if you self manage OOS, you will need a strong ‘boots on the ground’ team.many challenges come with these ‘$ sexy’ properties.
