Good bad idea before I depart - have you considered an owner occupied option?

I was informed by KCMO Health Department that landlords are supposed to be paying an annual fee to them and they conduct inspections of rental units in the city?

Instead, try reaching out to regional insurance adjusters or property claims departments directly.

I'll be happy to meet and talk with you and explore opportunities to help you achieve your goals.

What I’m discovering is that just because a town allows STRs doesn’t mean the local laws make them operationally feasible unless you meet very specific criteria.For example, in Highland Lakes, access to the lake requires private membership, and it’s unclear if STR guests can use it.

The best place for true private money is usually in your local meet-ups!

Good tenants can significantly reduce vacancy rates, turnover costs, and maintenance expenses.Many property managers I know are quick to fill vacancies, often asking, "Do they meet the minimum requirements?"

Chase also has good CCs at 0% interest also, but you’ll need to meet their 5/24 rule for approvals.

Definitely hit up the CRREIA meetings bro.

A great way to get started is to go to local real estate investor meetups and meet other investors.
