Do you own a rental property in Kansas City? Make sure you know the surprising truth of being a landlord in Kansas City because it\u2019s not always what you think it\u2019s going to be\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\"truthOwning a rental property seems like a great idea. You buy it cheap, you find a tenant, and then you profit from the rental income while you manage the property\u2026 how hard could it be?<\/p>\n

Problem is, it\u2019s often much harder than people realize and you may find (as many landlords do) the surprising truth of being a landlord in Kansas City<\/strong>: You give up your personal life \u2013 no more private time, no more vacations, no more weekend getaways\u2026 all because you\u2019re so busy as a landlord.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the work required<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Owning a rental will keep you busy. There\u2019s the work required to find the property, then to fix it up, then to find a tenant, then to answer the phone from them every time they call. Even if they call late at night because the toilet is overflowing, you have to take their call and deal with it. That means: no more vacations, either, because what will happen if the toilet overflows while you\u2019re in a different country?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some landlords try to own a rental property while they have another job but many discover that it\u2019s just as time-consuming\u2026 it\u2019s like having a second full-time job! Between chasing down your tenants to fixing things around the house, it\u2019s one thing after another and you may simply not have time to work at your other job\u2026 and that\u2019s with ONE rental property. Landlords who own two or more are even busier.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the cost<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rental properties aren\u2019t cheap. Sure you get some rental income from the tenant but you also have to take care of the property, fix it up, make upgrades, and repair it if the tenants trash it when they leave. In other words, the costs add up and the financial rewards of owning a rental property may not be there for you.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the stress<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you add up all of those things so far, it equals STRESS! You\u2019ve got so much to juggle with the rental property, and you worry about it constantly, and perhaps you even fear opening the mail because you may find bad news in the next envelope. That\u2019s no way to live.<\/p>\n
