Bottom line, be hands on, learn the processes, and you'll make a much better owner/investor now and in the future.

We invest in single family homes with 3+ bed and 2+ bath on the west side of SF and we are always looking. 

__________Kids...........It's time for bed!

My landscaping crew was there and she claimed to be electrocuted by a Verizon cable line.

Once a month, change the filters as well as run vinegar down the condensate line.

When we lived further away I hired more things out (cleaning, yard care, small repairs)I have a great prop manager lined up for when I'm ready to fire myself from managing. 

From this, you'll be able to get a line by line idea of what you would need to do.If you decide to improve beyond the market standard, be sure to assess whether the investment required will be paid back through above market rents or reduced vacancy.Sounds like you have a potential value add park on your hands which is an exciting project.

I currently own my home in Roeland Park, 2 bed 1 bath, large back yard, am in the process of renovating the kitchen(painted cabinets, new back splash, new counter top.What are your thoughts on if it would be a better move to sell and invest the proceeds or try to rent it. 

one thing I find in our markets is the larger multi family new developments just don't pop up one day.they are 3 to 4 years in the making and its a little like stopping a cruise ship once it gets going .so what we are working on today in planning and permitting we wont built for another 2 years or so.whats coming on line today folks bought and started in 2015 and 2016.. so that can lead to over supply for sure in the rental realm. 

Thanks for sharingThe repairs and maintenance line item i would assume you would have that if you had long term tenants too.
