I would like any advice in taking this on and have a couple questions about this process as well, as far as 1.

That way you can get a feel of how much cashflow you're going to be intaking when you leave and how much you'll have to come out of pocket when you stay.

I'm starting to become interested in taking some of my profit and putting it into syndicates that happen to fit into an investment thesis I want to execute against, but don't have quite enough time to be a general partner and would rather silently join as a limited partner.

Did you think about talking to your tenant and asking if he knows anyone else who would be decent and interested in taking over there lease?

3)How long does it take to intake and get them delivered?

I would be interested in taking less of a slice to actually make something happen. 

I’m interested in taking control of my 401K and using the funds to finance my real estate investments.

Cash for keys may be a better option (pay the tenant to leave).I'm not sure hiring a property manager will solve your issues...Good PMs are very, very rare (and often, good PMs have no interest in taking on a single house with a deadbeat tenant and a distressed owner--they have bigger, better fish to fry).
