You would assume, or at least I did, that they would be uncompetitive price-wise, but with the discounts of my personal cars and house I actually saved money insuring 12 rentals with them and an umbrella through USLI. ( insure two properties with State Farm as they are in MN and my NV agent couldn’t insure them for me directly, though I’m sure allstate could have.)In 20 years I’ve made 2 claims, they were both toilet supply line leaks (2 different houses, (watch out for the metal lines that look like snake scales/knights amor, they suck)) they each did about $30k worth of damage.

Little metal boxes that spit out cash.

He came back put her good stuff in the truck and sold it, he broke all of her metal items for scrap, then him and his buddies tried to camp out.

If I am wrong, then I stand corrected - but I always worry that if you spring for an entirely new fence at their request, it would set that expectation in the future that you have lots of money to spend at their request.I think if it were me, I would see if I could drive some metal fence posts (the green ones people use around their gardens) and zip tie them to the failing wooden posts, and patch up holes with metal garden fence or something similar just to get through this tenancy so you can re-evaluate. 

Sounds like she wants more of a Hoboken/Jersey City/Manhattan kind of location, and especially if you need livable during renovation for your sister and a roommate...it'll really unlikely be under $200,000 even now, and unfortunately, I'd be shocked if you found something 3+ bedrooms that met all of your requirements and that you could fix up and be all in for under $200,000.

I dont want to send  deposit to a stranger that I have never met. All

Here's some teaser pix:Front of house:  Yes, I'm saving the front original metal bay window!

A good price in KCMO for a 2.5-ton unit furnace, coil, and condenser installed is 3k. 

It was hard to find the place because junkies stole the street signs for scrap metal.

Landlord didnt want to fix the ac unit because the previous tenants dog messed up the outer AC unit and the coils are open and in sight.
