It may be tough to find a property manager, and I would expect that you'll have a few additional fees when it comes to the rent by room strategy.I'd encourage you to think about managing the property yourself when living there as the landlord, and would be happy to share some of the do's and don't's that I ran into self managing a few house hack properties. 

@Michael SheaRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder, etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I really appreciate having a little bit of ammunition, and encouragement here.

We are just… at our wits end currently …. and just want to be done with this stage in our lives, yet we are running blind here… Ryan I would strongly encourage you to use a realtor, I have purchased quite a few properties and own a property investment company, you will definitely make more selling through a realtor…even after paying commission.

In fact not being subsidized  will encourage  them to some day buy a home.

Dave must have screened out anyone who had debt before he interviewed them because I don't believe his experience could logically be extrapolated to society at large.

Thanks for your encouragement.  

Thanks Scott I got a nice mention this week on Dave Meyers post about RE asset class. and one of the BP members a few years ago sent me a nice e mail and we talked through a deal he was doing and he gave me some credit for helping him structure and or giving him encouragement to go for it.. and I believe he said this year that one deal netted him 143k in cash flow.. talk about a Yatchzee..
