I appreciate it.john Your plan seems well-thought-out, but I’d keep a few things in mind.

Didn't get into rentals on pupose but it's working out well and I want to continue to learn and develop my portfoilo.

Are you doing GC work in Birmingham as well? 

Occasionally there is some decent Savings in those relationships as well.

Realistically you would expect the house to continue to appreciate during that time as well... even if at 3.33% appreciation - that is another $50,000 in appreciation you would make in the 3 years - give or take.  

You will be obligated to modify your home insurance once you leave, regardless of whether you self-manage or not and this would apply to Scenario 2 as well - for any property you don't occupy yourself.3. 

I switched over to Baselane over a year ago and it has worked well for my growing portfolio.

I wish you well in your situation, this is never easy.

A Mentor – I am new to the area and hoping to find someone to learn from and help that knows the area well and can guide me in the right direction.2.

I have been renting it for 6 years now and am wondering if it would make sense to do one with that townhouse as well or not.
