I moved out and transitioned the unit over to a property manager in order to set it up with a Section 8 tenant.

If finding one near public transit is within your budget I would definitely opt for that.

@Taylor Roeling yeah we aren't planning on having a lawyer run the eviction, we were only planning on paying a consultation fee to make sure we were doing it right :) Hopefully it goes smooth!

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

If you want to scale things up a bit, you might think about mailing to some of the new motivated owner occupied lists such as:Seniors with Long-time Ownership: often ready to downsize or transition to assistance.Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS): Struggling financially and likely ready to cash in on their asset.Both these categories have additional advantages in that they probably don’t haven’t been updated and may have deferred maintenance.

I will be working in the loop so my main thing is being near public transit wherever I live.

I will be transitioning out of the Navy in 6 months and wish to work as a real estate agent.

Good morning BP,I have my first 6 month lease finishing up soon and looking for advice how others have transitioned their tenants from a termed lease to a month to month?

I'm new to the space and investing at a distance, so I'm more focused on getting a smooth start.

Eventually, I will transition out of my current job and into real estate as an active career.
