I was looking to Rent to Retirement and another similar company. 

This feels naive. 2) Do I withhold payment until his insurance company will verify his statement about payout should he vanish?

We are just… at our wits end currently …. and just want to be done with this stage in our lives, yet we are running blind here… Ryan I would strongly encourage you to use a realtor, I have purchased quite a few properties and own a property investment company, you will definitely make more selling through a realtor…even after paying commission.

Has anyone had experience with a good property management or turnkey company in Kansas City.

I use a local company for background checks and all that kind of stuff.

Has anyone ever use them or is there another company recommended?

Property management companies often receive volume discounts and priority service due to the volume of work we provide to these vendors.

And at the end of the lease, any bills tied to the house (ie if they don't pay, you have to), get a copy of the final statement to show it was paid in full before you return the deposit.My water company won't let the tenant put the bill in their name, so I send them the bill every 3 months (it is quarterly) and they add it to their rent.When the next tenant goes to move in, get proof that all utilities are in their name before you hand over the keys.

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing heavy in our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

The town can't recommend engineers but they showed me the list of engineers who have completed projects in town and the company I hired made up ~80% of the list.
