I used to think all realtors were more or less the same as well :)Of course there's good and bad and shades in between.  

Any prospective resident with bad credit or a prior eviction is going to have an impossible time finding a place to live.  

The good news is you will be able to get debt on properties easier than someone who is making $50k per year assuming you don't have a bunch of bad debt.

Are there specific reasons you don't want to rent them out (e.g. bad previous experience with a tenant)? 

However I'm thinking if I ever hit the windfall on something like this, their pockets are probably way deeper than mine and I'm not going to want to spend the money to fight it.

I would argue that they are young so they haven't been burned by bad landlords or even know how to take advantage of the system.

@V.G Jason,I'm not at all suggesting making bad investments.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

I feel like it would be great to trust a property management company on all of this, but it would be hard not to step in if you could do a better job at screening bad tenants (eg screening HUGE future problems).I initially managed properties myself, but now I delegate that responsibility to my business partner, personal assistant, or a property manager at my brokerage.Most PMs I know will send you an applicant for final approval and you can get on the phone with them and ask them questions

Better still, the recessed handle trim is visibly chipped (stands out as bad.)
