It is flood zone x and I also need to perform ensure that the property is actually renting for what they say it is. 

I am currently setting up my investment dashboard to track my portfolio's performance (buy-and-hold) but am also looking into better understanding the underlying dynamics between the various return metrics.

Based on the financials - maintenance, capex, your mortgage payment, taxes, management fees - you should be able to run some numbers on this property to see how it performs. 

Reno work must be performed by licensed contractor. 

I have seen way better options in the Kansas City Market that perform much better for less.

How can I double close if the end buyer is not performing? 

I started an application with Neat Loans and they advertise a good rate and low closing costs for an investment property refinance.It looks like they were a company that was rebranded into Neat Loans this spring and some of the old reviews that refer to to previous brand were negative, especially about them not being able to perform the closing after the application is submitted and approved.Has anyone had experience with Neat loans?

As a Realtor, I connect my clients with a list of my preferred lenders that have been vetted and that I know will perform and get my clients the best terms!
