It has to be very secure & the railings must be such that they do not allow kids to climb them or get their heads stuck between the spindles if any.

That's why they generally haven't innovated in well over a decade, just burying their heads in the sand as the redfins and zillows grow and grow... but, hey, Realtors, how have those MLS dues been going? 

Its probably dangerous to offer to answer questions to a newby, I have so many right now I cant keep my head on straight.

I am in my preliminary search phase but these questions kept popping up in my head and I didn’t know a better source of knowledge than the bigger pockets community.Any help on this topic is appreciated!

I would also be curious what people recommend to improve the efficiencies of some of the expenses.... ie: brands of low flow faucets and shower heads, wifi thermostats with limits etc.... 

I always tell new tenants that if they want a grace period then rent can be due 5 days before the first of the month with a 5 day grace period:)My late fees are substantial as well. 10% of rent plus $5 per day after the second.

I think that the football teams success will give a substantial boost to the Kansas City economy.

After sharing my thoughts and experience with the team, we put our heads together to see if we should focus our attention on building an apartment.  

So as long as regional prices (what CPI measures) and in relation average salaries/wages (more pay = able to pay higher prices) are going up, the landlord can continue to raise prices.Another thing I noticed in the bill:  "§ 214 (B) THE TENANT IS VIOLATING A SUBSTANTIAL OBLIGATION OF HIS OR HER TENANCY, OTHER THAN THE OBLIGATION TO SURRENDER POSSESSION, AND HAS FAILED TO CURE SUCH VIOLATION AFTER WRITTEN NOTICE THAT THE VIOLATION CEASE WITHIN TEN DAYS OF RECEIPT OF SUCH WRITTEN NOTICE, PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT THE OBLIGATION OF TENANCY FOR WHICH VIOLATION IS CLAIMED WAS NOT IMPOSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF CIRCUMVENTING THE INTENT OF THIS ARTICLE;"  This sounds like if the tenant violates the lease agreement and does not fix it within 10 days of notice you can evict

March and April rent).Heads up: consult with a lawyer before starting the eviction.
