I highly recommend Pam Whitworth

(Low Maintenace, High Demand).

I would highly suggest bring a profesional with you, when you visit the property to inspect the fan.

With these high interest rates, now is not a good time. 

For this reason, I highly recommend the 2 BR option over the 1 BR.  

Based on your numbers, there would be little to no cash-flow (if held as a long-term rental), especially if you factor in the high interest rates. 

I'm perfectly willing to pay for my MLS access, but I don't want to pay the high membership fees for KCRAR.Can anybody shed some light on this process? 

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Do I need to hire an attorney to evict my tenant who, is a single mother with 2 high school kids?

It's definitely not more than 8 hours per month to manage this from a high level.
