I have been investing mainly in trust deeds but like you got connected with Dave and just recently ended up investing in his fund, my primary reason was for diversification and because it is passive. 

Most likely due to wanting to invest his time more wisely:)If you can move in with family or friends RIGHT NOW and rent out your house and start DIY managing it BEFORE moving out of state, that would be best.Otherwise, handymen, cleaners, agents, etc. are highly likely to take advantage of you once they find you you live OOS.

Went and viewed about 10 properties, made an offer on one without a buyer's agent, so that the selling agent would double end the deal and they accepted a below ask offer at a time when prices were climbing.How did you finance this deal?

I highly recommend them! 

I need help analyzing this property.Address:2542 Glenn Terrace, Mount Penn, PA 19606Asking Price: $209,000Taxes: $5087 (they are really high in my county)Renovations: $10K-$15KMortgage: ConventionalCredit Rating: 712 median1.

I ended up selling my property to wash my hands of it.

It makes sense to me but I foresee that to be a contentious point, even more if they end up not getting the rental.Thank you in advance!

Its proximity to campus, turnkey condition, and rental history make it particularly appealing to investors seeking high cash flow and low vacancy risks.

I have done this before and now find the risk just to high.  

we are pretty high that is for sure.
