Small boutique firm, lower mgmt fee, personalized service, good mentions from here (BP forums), focused only on KC.

Even if you personally have just a modicum of design aesthetic sensibility, after reviewing 20 or 30 properties, you will quickly be able to get a sense of the winners.My 2 cents,Mike

Welcome, great community here on BP but also in-person in Central Texas, definitely encourage you to get involved in the lots of groups and events in the region!

For example, they won't need to cover your personal belongings (furniture, clothing, etc.) because you won't be living there.A landlord policy should cost about the same as a homeowner's policy; it just changes what is covered.

I've personally sold a number of properties to VA buyers.

For context when we do this our biweekly payments have been around $485 per paycheck so around $1,000 per month of lost income per person when we both do it. 

It has to be a personality trait.

It’s one of the few places where you can still buy affordable properties, get strong cash flow, and see appreciation in the right areas.I personally built a 12-door portfolio there, and while it wasn’t easy, the market fundamentals are strong—affordable entry prices, high rental demand, and a city that’s been seeing steady growth.

I personally ALWAYS use 30 days as the time frame to close in.

I personally only use TN LLC because I am diligently maintaining all corporate formalities and staying up date with state LLC laws, this is my personal choice but again.. this all depends on your specific risk tolerance and investment situation.
