Welcome @Kyle Hyatt  I'm a pharmacist in LA but my sister and brother-in-law are also civil engineers for the city. 

Just wanted to say hi to the BP community (especially the ones who live in the Kansas City area).

New York City.

We currently have an Airbnb property in Johnson City Tn.

Owner of a property in each city and now focused on investment opportunities with upside (renovations, change of use, working thru legal issues, etc.). 

Any person who invests in real estate in Kansas City needs to know this information.There is a new ordinance for Kansas City Missouri regarding licensing and interior inspections of rental property in Kansas City Missouri that will be on the ballot August 7th..

Deal overview;Purchase price = $350k. 4,000 sqft, 5/4 that had an in-law suite above the garage, complete with a tar-pit (I mean pool, but you couldn’t tell the difference), hurricane damaged roof with inside water damage, two kitchens that needed appliances/updating, 2,300 ft of flooring needed replaced, $45k in city fines that we had to navigate (settled on $1,500 in fines, title company assured me that would be the case, but I was still apprehensive, glad we listened) and lots of granite, paint & fixtures!

@Stephen Chaney Check with the town office / city hall  (code enforcement, zoning, etc) to see if what you want to do would be a permitted use.

In order to get grandfathered in, you need to be registered with the city before the ordinance goes into effect.

I starting in REI in February 2018 when I turned my previous primary residence into a rental and became a landlord and soon after bought a turn key rental in Bossier City, Louisiana.
