Quote from @Chris Seveney: 99% of real estate investors do not do it full time, so I would say go to college for what he can earn an income off of and wants to do.

Get in touch with Chris Fleming.

@Chris Seveney That's an interesting insight, and can definitely see where you're coming from since the plans were approved back in 2008.

I'm Chris from Costa Mesa, CA, soon to be Dallas TX.

There are those who legitimatly say (@Chris Seveney for example) that there is little benefit to an LLC for a small landlord.

Thank you Chris!

@Jay Hinrichs@Chris Seveneythis is not my area of expertise but OP said "they don't refinance unless it's a LTR"i don't understand this. 

One other thing I didn't mention is that our timeline for moving is extremely flexible and we would not make our plans until after we have found a suitable tenant (even if that means staying with a friend or renting something short term locally), so at the moment I am a bit inclined to want to try things ourselves using some of the recommendations from @Nathan Gesner, @Chris Berry and others.I also did a a rough analysis based on the two local PMs I have researched and the potential cost savings would be over $6,000 a year.
