Why hasn't your property manager already answered this question?

The tenant wants to stay another 2 years.My other adult properties have often had long-term tenants.

So the property owner can never sell?

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

For several reasons (property taxes, politics), I would prefer to begin real estate investing somewhere other than locally. 

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

I know a common practice (at least for syndications), is to create a separate LLC for the property and then raise capital once the deal is already under contract.

How should I phrase my interest in the property to avoid coming across as pushy or insensitive?

If you decide to sell and find an investment property with a greater cash flow potential.A 1031 exchange would allow you to indefinitely all of the tax and use it to your advantage to reinvest into larger nicer property/properties.

Is this property in TN?
