Reduce landscaping service costs, reduce water consumption, reduce other utility bills, etc…

Can you spend the 10k on landscaping and sell the house for 50k more? 

Things that drive the ARV higher - roof, plumbing, electrical, paintThings that don't drive the ARV as much - windows, landscaping, driveway

The lease agreement also states that they are responsible for any landscaping damage due to lack of watering or neglect.

I only buy the basic machines with the dial controller, no electronic controls which makes it super simple to repair and simple to operate.

Understand exactly how big is the structure, how are you orient the structural, what's the access situation, parking situation, driveway, landscape, and waste water management. 

Carpet, flooring, paint, fixtures, landscaping.

I have solid connections and a firm understanding of the ever evolving KC Metro REI landscape, particularly as it pertains to SFR and small multi.

Utilities, taxes (property, local vacation, & income), landscaping, furnishing / decorations / amenities, pest control, & supplies (soap, TP, etc) are the big ones on my STR calculator that you didn't mention.I'd also recommend using the enemy method to determine expected income.

Happy to set up a time to talk with you more about the KC metro investing landscape, and how it relates to your goals.
