I went to a small Catholic Benedictine College - Belmont Abbey in NC.

So with this basement conversion my home will become a 2 unit dwelling (being that I'm walking distance to the Brookland metro and CUA Catholic University of America) it should rent for $1300 - $1500 easy.  

I want to be a priest and work for catholic charities.

I went to high school in the city, Mendel Catholic & South Shore :-)  looking forward to connecting.

My house is a block from a catholic primary school, convenient to a small private college and seminary (divinity school), not too far from freeway access, and a couple blocks from a major bus line (that serves the college, divinity school and downtown).

I live across the street from a private, Catholic school and church.

You work with those people and the teaching industry, even people like volunteer ushers in Catholic churches, the Commonwealth's already done much of the clearance work for you.

Also if 300 a month , 10% is not something you can stomach then you should lean towards self management.2) If you are getting bad tenants you may want to consider talking to the various agencies in the area like catholic charities etc.

I was approached by Catholic Services.

@Jo Zhou You've gotten some good advice here.In past, I've sent tenants to Catholic Charities.
