I even saw a hot dog vendor selling there this summer.

I'm going to confirm how much of the dwelling is covered by the association but what is a good rule of thumb on telling how much it would cost to redo the fixtures and tiles for the bathroom, living room, kitchen and two bedrooms with the appliances hot water heater and furnace? 

My tenant called on Sunday and informed that the hot water heater was leaking.

Look at the huge Cener campuses in KC, it raised the prices some in the local areas, but it wasn't anything crazy (or at least crazy by CA appreciation standards).https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2017/0...I'm not saying it didn't help, but housing ALL OVER KC is already hot and has been (I'd argue OOS investors dumping money drives prices more than a company).If you want to deep dive it, it all started around 03http://www.kansascity.com/news/business/development/article334952/Cerner-seals-the-deal-on-4.3-billion-office-plan-at-Bannister-site.html

Coming hot off the heels of a house in an entry-level neighborhood that had an appliance package stolen.That being said, we've done well on higher-end houses, and we've done well on lower-end houses, and we've taken it on the chin on both as well when markets changed on us.

MHPs have become a very hot asset class.  

It would be such a coincidence if that guy's car caught fire "accidentally" of course, from a faulty carburetor on a hot engine.Glad you have insurance!

I would do my best to check out a property I'm hotly pursuing.  

Good lots don't just hang around in hot areas of especially California as Jay mentioned Why is it getting so hard to make 20 grand?

Seems like it has been too good for too long (low inventory, overseas money flowing in CA/NY/SEA/MIA/ATL and tech money, zero fed rates) but some bad signs are coming (all the major economies are slowing down, baby-boomers tightening their wallets and spending more on healthcare than discretionary, HELOC from 2005 are resetting, wide income gap, Millenniums cant' buy entry level houses, Houses sitting longer in some hot markets due to seller high expectations etc.).
