Hi all,I'm making a trip to KS (from CO) in a few weeks and will be seriously considering a few properties to be used as BRRR's and for mid term rentals.Question for this group:a. Anyone in this area? Or invest in the...

I advise to be very careful of who you have work on this project.

The tenants have not taken great care of the space, would this cause a lower reasonable rent? 

This is a garden home and the yard is fenced in with a 10 foot privacy board in board fence The neighbor stated it was making her violently ill and that it is a health hazard for her as it was coming in through her vents and or windowsshe has also been known to harass my last tenant, and sending us text that trees are too close to her home telling us that we need to cut it because there were branches over her skylight and she claims that it was scratching the cover. she called the city when the last tenant had to sell all of her items at an estate sale due to loosing her job and having to move from the property and cited that she was in violation of city ordinances due to not informing the county of an estate sale.

Does the landlord take care of them, or do you as the tenant take care of them?

Be careful, STR are banned in the city of Temecula and fines for violators are $1000/day and can be retroactively enforced. https://temeculaca.gov/1241/Sh...

I know others said that this was because of an EPO, but no one stated a reason why you might not want to do a refi prior to 6 months.

Even if you could, I don't think a bank would care. 

One thing to be careful with is the last 3 years have been atypical for the Calgary market, it's been a good run, but don't expect these kinds of returns long term.

I am a handyman with a lot of experience in residential and commercial maintenance, so I would like to be close to my first investments so I could take care of the management and repairs myself.
