Hi Michael,thank YOU so much for the detail response & information you provided.

A flat rent for 2 years at $2,925 provides a slight increase, yet might not be enough to counter potential market hikes in the third year.

A quick question:  Would you be able to provide further clarity why you classified zip code 64052 /64053 as mostly bad for rental?

My real estate agent asked a few buyers, and no one has provided that information yet.

Any insights or advice you can provide would be incredibly helpful as I navigate this potential investment.Thank you very much for considering my request.

This is an acceptable appraisal approach.Sometimes using simple and common sense is ok way to go.Good luck and don't forget to invite all those who provide an answer to a BBQ ;-)
