@Chris Billington Its a fine market but I don't think it will appreciate as fast as KC and not as fast as denver.

Overall, my tenant was great; however, After conducting a final walk through, I discovered that the walls had a lot of wear on them, the garbage disposal was broken, and the house was dirty.

I just wanted to add:The new Ordinance from City of Jackson Mississippi requires registration of all rental units, the payment of an annual fee of $50 per rental unit, annual inspection by the city, fixing any inspection issues, a fine for late or non compliance.And, it requires out of area owners to have a local PM or agent.I believe the fines can run to be high dollars.
