Kansas City, and most major cities, has a non-unique requirement to have a variety of property managers.  

Generally, most major Canadian metropolitans do not have very attractive investment metrics but have benefitted from price appreciation in the past few years.

Currently, I work in originations for a European bank here in NYC/New Jersey.

Their expansion in that respect was rapid starting in 2012 to most major markets.

I did get a home warranty at closing hoping that it would take care of most major issues, but thankfully never had to use it.

For example, it is hard to achieve more than 10% net rental yield in any continental European country.

It is possible in most European countries the only problem is the RED tape here it is a killer and if anything happens were the renter is concerned it can take up to five years to get them out.

We have everything from inner city junk to multi million dollar private estates like most major metro areas.

It feels as is Europe has very different numbers.I would love to find people who can help me better understand the European and Dutch markets versus the US market to see what really works here.

@Greg Teamann Vacancy rate seems low - I suggest to use a minimum of 8% (unless you have landlording experience and have a make-ready team in place, capable of turning a house in matter of few days).Repairs depend on the age and condition of the house, and the rehab you put at the beginning. 8% sounds about right, if you took care already of most major mechanicals.
