However, keep in mind, you will have to notify your insurance company that the property is no longer owner occupied but rather a rental. 

Anything over that in my mind is just outright generous and an offering before God.

Quote from @Lisa Broderick: Crazy that anyone would think that's a good investment.I learned what I needed to know by reading a few books and asking questions online.

Good news, in my mind. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

@Edward Heavrin - keep in mind your ROI goes down down down the more money you put into the property. 

Should I be visiting, asking neighbors questions, getting a feel for the neighborhood and home (in person rather than just off of online research) before buying or making offers? 

@Shiloh Lundahl of course we don't mind you participating into the conversation and get your insights.

Sadly, it’s sat on the market too long and I’m looking to get creative with bringing the attention of many buyers looking for a good deal on a property (online auction or something else with tons of attention??)

Would you mind sharing some of the details/numbers?
