The simplest way in my mind would be to purchase the new place as a primary residence, get a low downpayment or rehab loan, and then rent it. 

The simplest way to find one is to just start calling every listing that has a purchase price in the last 2 years in your area that was on an FHA or VA loan AND has been on the market for 60+ days.

Quote from @Tom Sharon: There are many ways to address this, and I'm not familiar with your state laws.The simplest method: post a written notice on the door.

The cheapest/simplest solution I found was just removing the old wood window.  

The best option to go with and simplest .

A quitclaim deed might be the simplest and cheapest, but a trust could offer more protection and control. 

simplest answer is the best usually.........thanks!   

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

@ cati@Catie Fihn simplest solution, increase rents to justify the utility amounts... alot easier to have tenants pay 1 monthly payment vs having to reimburse different bills. just my experience..

It’s the simplest way to get a feel of what it is like to be a landlord without going through the hassle of managing rehab projects.
