I recommend lining someone up before you leave for a 1 year term.  

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Location is central and close to highway.

Keeping it friendly and low intensity is more likely to be successful.I recently offered to completely replace my neighbor's fence next to my rental and they said "No".

Looking forward to what others add...

It's all about risk in the event of a lawsuit, which can also usually be covered by insurance.- If you decide to have an LLC for each property, creating a Management LLC that all the other LLCs "hire" to run their books, will allow you to only require a bank accont for the Management LLC.2) You may not be able to do a Trust.

Overall, NC listings increased by 9.1% from Jan 24 to Jan 25; however, sales remain flat. 

I am going to have to have my realtor make an addendum to the lease. the tenant has been paying for utilities up until this point. has anyone ever been through this?

IE they just work in the NPN space and try to work the notes and ending up owning probably happens maybe not the majority of the time but quite often..

Positives are proximity, low property taxes, no income taxes, no weather events, very low maintenance stucco/tile structures, “young” properties (5-20 years old)
