It's always amazing to me how so many property owners use the blanket term "managing my property" to encompass everything associated with their property. 

I find it a charming town & I believe I would like to rent it out long term for a year or so, then move in when I retire.  

This is the update from CW: I had to file a title claim with the prior insurerbecause we LEGALLY do not own both parcels of land that the property encompasses.

Matthews has it's own charm and Ballantyne is just a super nice area. 

If he was smart he'd wear a unicorn onesie and offer the people being shown the property some Lucky Charms in a bowl.

Basically if you own quality property in the Bay Area you should always lean towards keeping it, and work with your equity for new acquisitions. 5 buildings later that approach has worked like a charm for me :) So well, in fact, that I don't want more RE at this point. 

That would probably encompass marco island, south naples, treasure coast, and upper keys. 

Can anyone suggest a general contractor or appraiser who is experienced with rehabbing older homes near the charming downtown area of Prescott, AZ?

I think you are right the house is very charming.

The greater CSRA encompasses 13 counties.You can certainly find a good property management company that is investor based to oversee management and help you get started.
