While we were onboarding the property to the system and trying to figure out the automated sprinklers, he was out there every day watering the lawn by hand, stopping the buck and taking personal responsibility. 

Hi Aaron,It's always challenging when companies go through transitions like this, especially when it involves something as personal and critical as managing retirement accounts.

However, you can get loans that are based on the performance of the rental and not your personal income and debt.

Personally, I would hold onto the home a bit longer.

While this job could be performed remotely, working with my peers in person for at least a year is important to me.

And will you have ongoing maintenance issues beyond your CapEx based on the building's age.I personally would be suspect of this deal.

And personal downsizing is always good for business!

I have personally worked with @Wale Lawal and he is awesome. 

Some will even allow you to hire their maintenance teams on an as-needed basis.TaskRabbit & Thumbtack – While hit-or-miss, these can be useful for small jobs when in a pinch.Additional Considerations for Remote Management:Emergency Plan – Have a go-to person (trusted neighbor, friend, or even a tenant) who can physically check on things in case of an urgent issue.Lease Clauses – Since you’ll be remote, make sure your leases clarify expectations for minor maintenance responsibilities (e.g., tenants handling small fixes like unclogging drains).Vendor Relationships – Set up accounts with appliance repair services, locksmiths, and other key tradespeople so they’re familiar with your properties.Tenant Selection & Retention – With your solid rental history and below-market rents, you’re in a great position to minimize turnover, which is key for remote management.Sell or Hold?

Personally, in this market, I would work on saving up and really doing my best to find a great opportunity and pull the trigger then.
