Do you need a MTR specific PM?

@Michael Zandona While I don't recommend investing specifically for tax savings, if you're looking for properties with significant bonus depreciation potential, have you considered self storage?

I know of a guy here in the greater Seattle area that might be able to advise or at least get you in touch with someone locally that is reputable.The key here, IMHO (and I am not an attorney or anything), is to keep everything stabilized.

While a $130,000 property might seem appealing, managing it from afar requires careful planning, considering travel costs, taxes, and legal obligations like understanding landlord-tenant laws specific to Kansas City.

I wonder if I should be more specific as to the dollar amount in equity I have available.

I'm wondering what tools are out there that will show me the rental history for a specific property? 

I feel ya, but if you have a good/trusted PM let them advise you and do their job.If God forbid such an accident happened, everyone (Landlord, PM and insurer) would be involved or "at fault" and it could get messy so there is some liability there.All residents must be on the lease and if they are not (As long as stated on your lease), you would have grounds to evict.All the best

Nothing specific to me or my goals.

Tax rates are very high level, so you will want to adjust that as you pick a more specific location to model out.  

Any specific strategy or area you are looking at?
