Take a look at this chart of KC --> https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ATNHPIUS28140Q. 

@Mat Poole you will get the best terms and rates as an owner occupant. 

Different topic but same subject, I would recommend hiring a pool company to service the pool weekly.

I added a pool an currently owe $42k.

We are at entirely new price levels compared to Sept/Oct 2020 (see chart below).

None of them had fancy amenities (ie no pool). 

You may need to lower the rent to minimize vacancy loss and get a larger pool of potential renters but you will rent the apartment (with minimum vacancy loss).

Statistics would help me with understanding if there's a large pool of investors out there unwilling to go out of state for the same reason I don't.

You've essentially cut off over half of your renter pool (likely more based on renter demographics) so vacancy may be higher.

I explain to them that they are paying one check to the association rather than having to write monthly checks to a pool guy, a landscaper, an insurance agent (for the common area insurance), roofers, pavers, etc.
