The reasoning there is that the properties are primarily nice blue collar to middle class. 

Keep the condo long term, as it will go up in value again with the next Bay Area appreciation wave, and the rent will go up too, and then you’re cashflow positive, have tons of equity, all with a blue chip asset.

For KC, in general, I've had a good experience in Raytown, Lee's Summit, Independence, Blue Springs and select locations within the city of KC. 

I might suggest traget direct mailing to homeowners that are adjacent/near to blue-collar and service type of job/employment centers (factories, light manufacturing, etc) where jobs are being more apt to be lost.

I'm ok with blue collar, etc, but not something with bars.

Again, I will repeat myself until I am blue in the face - because no one seems to be hearing me - than I was agreeing with the eviction, but also mentioning another tool in the tool belt.

Other than that, it was turnkey.We were expecting the financial model to play out much worse based on the robin's egg blue furnace that was originally in the property, but through Marcus' help, we were able to secure a new furnace on the seller's home warranty policy during the inspection period.  

There is a reason why blue-chip properties in NY, LA or Boston will always be in demand even though they might yield less income (on a % basis).

You can read until you are blue in the face, but nothing speaks louder than actions.

IE blue collar work force type tenants and housing or.. semi to professional workers in A type housing.. huge difference on how your tenants react to certain requests.
