Talk with a local lender.Include a budget for initial repairs.

Chicago had the biggest ground swell in truck inventory. 

Pay for trucks, movers, etc.

A CPA noting you should have some losers is like a CPA telling you to buy a truck you don't need at the end of the year, or not pay off your mortgage because you'll lose an interest deduction.

Unexpected repairs that blew the budget?

And then a new one was just approved via a bill a few months ago that, though not funded yet, will have a $1m a year budget (to start with) to help tenants with a lot of stuff (look up KC Tenant Bill of Rights).As for the registrations, THERE IS ENFORCEMENT but Kansas City, Missouri is a 318sq mile city with less than 20 inspectors doing all that enforcement.

Rento meter  median rent = $1245 Unit 3 - 2 bed 1 bath            median rent = $950 I used an average rent of $850 per unit as a conservative estimate.Property tax $3,206 PA  Property/ units need cosmetic and minor renovations, budget = $20,000<$25,000.Here are the Hypothetical numbers.

Not sure what your budget is, but try to stay north of the 60 highway in Glendale and away from Maryvale as Maryvale has higher crime.

Think 20+ year old HVAC systems and water heaters....roofs patched with tar instead of shingles, etc.I didn't see Vacancy or Capital Expenses included in your budget affecting cash flow.
