Then look at different REI to scale to that number.  

@Hector Lewis - The decision ultimately depends on your current cash reserves relative to your financial needs, as well as your willingness to reinvest for potential appreciation.

For example, I will tell them they must be out within 30 days, but they can leave at any time during that 30 days without just one week of notice.If they reject my offer, then I start to ramp up the leverage.

What do you do to relax at the end of the day? 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

The institutional firms that do this type of lending (we deal with them every day) have to "securitize" the loans...meaning have their hedge fund/Wall Street backer bless the deal.

You’re going to have to buy at least $1M (or whatever you clear after selling costs.), worth of replacement properties, not $500k.

However, from a real world day to day experience it's a totally different animal.

Please, can someone help me with information on getting an agent (Group home center) to rent my house to in Maryland. 

The lender is pushing you to do this to get an FHA loan.
