The 15-20 year run people had is gone, so be VERY careful with listening to some of these "real estate gurus." 7.

While I was running my inspection business, trying to build a real estate business, and taking care of 4 rentals with family, I was also going to night school to get a degree in MIS.

Some parts of KC is not great so you do have to be careful.

They took care or the property. 

They take decent care of the property, but I would get texts all the time telling me to fix many things (some valid, some completely unnecessary) and would get upset if I ever denied any of the requests.

Appliances do break and you need to be ready take care of the bill when that does come around. 

Start by reviewing the assessment report for errors, such as incorrect square footage or outdated property features.

Further, people committing to a rental for 6 months or more tend to treat the furnishings with much more care than the 30 day stay tenant. 

It all depends on the market and if tenants actually care about having a new sidewalk and walkway. 

They said they only review categories every couple of months so I patiently waited and called again.
