It would also be much easier to manage considering you are currently living in Arlington.

I talked to Padsplit and they manage SFHs renting each room to different tenants - the total rent is more than renting it out to one household.

Over the years, I managed 3 offices and a 12-person team, and I got tired of bloated CRMs with monthly fees.

@Juliann Morala Yep, a buyers agent that works exclusively with investors will have all the info you need and lots of options on contractors, lenders, attorneys, inspectors, property managers.

I will no longer manage furnished long term rentals. 

Found T&H realty services to be pretty interesting as they provide both buyer brokerage service (to help me find deals) as well as do property management i.e. they are not full turnkey provider necessarily, but reduces some of the hassle for me I guess as an out of state investor. 

I try to manage mine at $100/month/door. 

Being a Teacher and self managing your investment home... 

Your SEC attorney can help you with the details.Typically you would have one LLC that owns the properties and another LLC that acts as manager.

A great realtor can place a tenant for you and show you how to self management.
