Others chew wood trim or scratch up doors or tear down blinds.

If he wants to play remodel, let him tear his own place apart.

I am trying to find my niche, and I like the idea of seniors not tearing the place up and the low turnover.

This is why I don't want to have my loan dependent on tearing down the house right away.I am not placing any value on the junky house. 

There are some older pockets of Shawnee (where I grew up) and Merriam that could have some off-market potential for those willing to do the work of finding them, or gut-job BRRRs or something (some of the oldest parts of JoCo still have 1920s/30s bungalows, and there's plenty of distressed post-war homes throughout the country--though less outside the untouchable Prairie Village-Leawood-OP gold coast that are retail tear-downs).

Retail scares me, I want to "assume" JWB is about 20% above retail in exchange for them managing it, I think 3 year leases, their own tear down cleared lot new construction homes, or fully rehabbed to perfection looking, by a rehab investor like homevestors.....if you're ok with that, they are the only ones I know of, or seen as I drive under their big billboard.If your flexible, you can go shopping and find a better deal...particularly you being so close..and same time zone, easy flight.I have property managers managing mine in Raleigh that I bought out of state.....I kept coming south for consistant warmer weather..and keep them managed up north..

Perhaps completely tearing property down do your research.    

If you know the handle on the dishwasher is known to break, then that's reasonable wear and tear as long as its not brand new.

One thought is we don’t want to paint because of the wear & tear of painting & upkeep with renters.

In my case I had a crew there for a week tearing up and installing new flooring.
