I am curious to see what you’ve learned over the last few months and what details you have included in your lease agreement. 

@Carl Rowles get someone over there to document the damages with a ton of pics AND a narrated video - you may need this for any insurance claim.Regarding your insurance, many of the residential insurers: Allstate, Farmers, State Farm, etc., have a clause that makes your policy invalid if the property is vacant for more than 30 days.- Check with your insurance agent ASAP.You'll need to file a claim and get a claim number.Try to get an insurance adjustor in ASAP, so you can start pumping water out, removing all water damaged drywall and get dehumidifiers in. - Note: the insurance company's adjustor will try to minimize your claim amount.

This means you can double the rental income potential on eligible properties without navigating overly complex rezoning processes.

Those two alone may run your deal over. 

Focus your nightly pricing on February and continue to work your pricing one month out. 

Stay away, I made the mistake of buying one house through them in Palm Bay which has had continual problems.

Kansas City has several suburbs with populations over 100,000 including Kansas City, Missouri, Independence, and Lee’s Summit on the Missouri side and Overland Park, Kansas City, Kansas, and Olathe on the Kansas side.

And remember, lenders change their requirements over time, so what they will do today may not be what they will do next month. 

I had a recent permit take me over a year to get open.  

The property will be cash flowing as soon as the remodel is over and has space for one large extra unit on the lot or two small units on the lot.
