We stay +95% booked where folks may ask to rent a few days out vs months out on LTRs. 

Years ago I spent many months working in Indianapolis and staying at the Canal Street apartments. 

I was going over his financial information and saw that the guy was making over $50,000 a month and asked him what he did.

I looked into the maintenance option years back to discover a trend of:  apx. 8% monthly fee which only included rent collection (everything else from maintenance to turnovers etc, extra, and poor reputation on repairs.)

Then go pull their booking calendar for the next two months and see what the bookings look like.

Pay attention to your weekly and monthly discounts as well. 

During the months of searching for the perfect property, his has decided to move out of state, closer to family.

In your mind, is losing $9,500 worth saving $195 per month? 

I would stay long enough for the 2 years so you quaify nothing is going to happen in the next year or so.. that tax free money is the best thing we have going in the US in my mind. then U could buy some very safe first trust deeds and make 4 to 6K a month NET NET NET without any of the TTTs..

Direct mail to this address for 8 months.
