@Stuart Udis great post your made here.We do 20 Flips/BRRRRs per year in Jacksonville FL and we use a hybrid approach. 

I live in Garden City, Missouri, which is about 45 minutes drive from the property in Kansas City.The property is currently vacant.I own the home, have no loans or mortgages.

What I do and in my lease I did month to month lease and the lease states the rent amount plus the water if the rent or water is not paid in full I can evict and late payment and all other fees is added because in the lease the water becomes the rent.

You would use a similar one to analyze SFH/MFH deals - except your self storage one will be a lot more in-depth - how many units, size per unit, rate per unit, unit mix etc.

A lot of areas are cracking down on STR and/or charging fees (taxes) to run one.

They are also both just over the County line in Yuba County where there are virtually no short-term rental restrictions (we were Airbnb'ing the larger house for a while and averaging $4-5k per month).8911 and 8917 state highway 20 smartsville

If your rent is on the higher end (over $1500 per month) and you are doing a kitchen, I would spend the bit extra to get new cabinets.

There is a significant upfront cost associated with this but I have calculated it will average 2.2 years per building to save the cost I’m currently paying for oil.

Had a tenant sign the lease and send the move-in fee and 1st month's rent then start asking a bunch of super high-maintenance questions.

Ring cameras, Minut device, a good cleaner, and smartlock activity log on the app, is your best friend for remote managing.
