Oakland scares me, considering renting out my home if I decide to leave the USA for a lower cost of living country in the future, although I know a few people who bought in 2008 renting their homes out in Oakland and doing well. 

You couldn't pay me to leave it.

In addition you need to budget for maintenance/repair, capital expenses, and also to cover the vacancy/turnover the next time a tenant leaves you.

Several of my Section 8 tenants are in my Top 20 list of worst tenants (out of thousands) and left owing $10,000 or more due to unpaid rent, cleaning, and repairs.I have strong feelings about people that stay on the government teat long-term, but I'll leave you to form your own opinions.

I have a 9-5 that I want out of but want to secure at least my first property prior to leaving it.

Tenants leave the 15th and I plan to patch holes that evening and paint + hire cleaner on the 16th and have new tenants move in the 17th. 

I think our first step is leaving Evolve.

I will leave the liability questions to the attorneys.
