There are some locations to stay away from but almost every single sub market of KC has value and increasing rents.

Offering definitive opinions about courses you haven't taken is like reviewing restaurants you've never eaten at.I think it's important to acknowledge that every land educator has contributed value to the field.

HVAC is assumed, as is roof, so that doesn't push up your value much.

@Shawn TumaFrom my experience, you can boost rental income and manage mortgage costs by targeting value-add properties and exploring mid-term, short-term, or room-by-room rentals.

Some of our owners like to buy value add properties and it is up to us to raise rents, rehab properties, and make it a stable asset.

Are you doing value ad that creates appreciation or is the market appreciating across the board? 

Definitely speak to your accountant.2.When you go to refinance, the lender will look at several factors - the value of the property, use of property etc.

Raise it once a year and raise it to market value (unless there are rental caps in your area). 

I don't work on houses, but I have to use B and A-basis values for material strength which in effect means the real material will end up being 20%+ stronger (depend on the material).  

Wait to sell for tax reasons - and watch your investment suddenly lose value.
