I am in a similar situation where I am a first time landlord living in a duplex where tennats will not be staying (eviction, after only 3 months of owning the property).

I had a similar experience and initially tried to sell my house myself.

I mostly do condos in Edmonton because of the low downpayments and cash flow similar to a single family home without needing property management. 

Actually, damage discovered and properly repaired and disclosed can show the house is in better condition than similar houses, which may have undisclosed or undiscovered issues.
