Smart move thinking ahead about guest experience.

In December the roof was finally repaired, however the damage to the ceiling has not. 

We need to know if repairs will be made and what the rent will be for next year?

Hi Delroy,Congrats on your 2-flat purchase—exciting times ahead!

The rental demand in the area has been consistent, and duplexes offer the flexibility of house hacking or scaling into multi-family investing over time.With your experience in construction and remodeling, you’re already ahead of the game—fix-and-flips or BRRRR projects in Kansas City could be a perfect fit for you. 

I want to get ahead of things before it becomes too overwhelming to switch PMS.Any advice and insights would be appreciated.

4. how do you estimate a repair?

I have some upcoming repairs needed that outweigh the Homestead Exemption and plan to make my primary home a long term rental in the next 7 years but the repairs can’t wait.  

I haven't sold yet, I've been analyzing property to get a head start on the 45-day timeline of identifying the potential replacement property (and because I enjoy analyzing property). 

I say this not to discourage you, but rather to encourage you to prepare for what lies ahead so that you have the best chance of success.
