It’s still up-and-coming, so there are some rough spots, but it could be a solid long-term play.

The list for senior housing at most places around here is years long. 

I have a background in design and come from a long line of handy people as my Grandfather and Father have both done their share of renovations and home construction.

You have 3 long-term rentals.

Neither are that much and we feel we are well covered.

Hi AllI'm on my neighborhood association's problem properties community and we are tracking a large property in Kansas City, owned and managed by an out-of-state investor, who is delinquent on taxes and has multiple housing and health code violations.

Probably not easy for long distance. 

We have to manually log the issue/damage, then enter each bill once we've done the work, then we have to track whether the tenants reimbursed us or not, then we have to pull together the water bills from another expense tracking sheet, and then re-organize everything per property or per tenant to be able to generate a summary report (which we are required to provide to tenants).

Much better deal for you in the long run. 

But.... how should we handle our next few days of bookings (assuming that the exterminator does say we need treatment for bed bugs [if they say we are free and clear than obviously no action needed]).
