First of all, why are they moving from Paris to OK (not that OK doesn't have its own charms :)) Second, have you spoken with them over the phone/video - do they have social media pages that you can see who they are?

This house definitely has the square footage to be a charming 3/2 if some of the living space could be converted to master bed/bath.

Not factored into investment criteria are future value, intrinsic value, historic value, nearly non-existent crime, and friendly small-town charm. 

Vacation renters take a toll on property; however, unless you charm it up you will not get the rents you otherwise would. 

Purchase price: $78,000 Cash invested: $11,700 Nice little rental apartment in a charming college town!

Tons of parks, close to outdoor recreation (Horsetooth Reservoir), and a charming downtown strip with great restaurants, shops, and nightlife.

I keep the properties I have that are close to me in better and better shape by puttering on them, so it's sad when I get to KCMO and see the disrepair my lame PM has let things get into.Mostly they (PM's) will all be charming and seem great, like potential tenants, but you have to grind into them to find out how much they actually care about the client (you AND your tenants). 

Can't complain, works like a charm.

If anyone can charm in and give me some insights.
