What is the median house income for the Blue Summit/Independence and Ray-town area?

@Ruth Blue That’s awesome!

It's like using Kelly's Blue Book to sell a car and it has no engine.  

A 200% rental increase for anyone out of the blue is sure to hurt.

A lot of traditionally red states went blue on hope.

I'm looking at approx 10% in this scenario which of course could be overstated for tax purposes so I need a true cost benchmark to compare it against.Subject property is a 1970's build in a solid blue collar neighborhood with <5% vacancy and it looks like it's well taken care of.Thanks for your thoughts.

You should be able to get Cards like the Chase Ink Business, and both American Express Blue Business cards as well as a few others.

Also, many people in rural areas don't save, are blue collar, and have family in the area.

Families who need more safety, folks who have dogs and want a yard, a teacher looking for peace and quiet and a more affordable place to rent, etc.The applicants we've had apply (143 so far) have held "gold nugget" tenants, including hard-working blue collar folks, professors from nearby college towns, and young, reliable tenants who need something more affordable than in the hubbub of the cities.

For context, I am purchasing a STR in Blue Ridge and will be managing remotely.
