So if you're looking at Kansas City I'd recommend speaking with him as well.  

In the last couple months, the zoning has changed for my home, and the lot is now classified as RM1 (low-density multifamily), and I have learned that I can build 3+ units, and don't need to include any off street parking. 

I've sat on city council meetings where a county will straight up say they can make changes to the laws, but they don't have the resources to actually enforce them.

We are a town of seven thousand but the city pulls in almost 100m a year from tourism alone.

Quote from @Tom Dieringer: Great question, in particular, for those who don't live next door or down the street.

Hi Guys:I am currently looking in CA which cities are short term rental friendly.

//What is the rental market like in De Soto KS for renting property with a large home and pond//I am analyzing a deal on a property in De Soto KS. 20 + acres, newly renovated home, a pond, etc.Given the economy, De Soto KS location in relation to Kansas City, Lawrence, Lenexa, etc... does it seem likely that there are people who are willing to rent properties at a higher cost than something in the city?

That is on one of the largest arterial streets in the city, massive traffic count.

For example in a hot area of Houston I have a 30 unit. 20 of them are in a courtyard and 10 face the street.
