Better to keep rent 5-10% below market, but keep a tenant long-term.If you can handle all this, you MIGHT be ready to be a real estate mogul.Otherwise, you may want to get out of your own way and hire a PMC to manage your property better.Let us know how this goes before you continue dreaming about anything else:)

My short term goal is to start investing in single family homes/duplexes within 100 miles of Boise as long term rentals.

@Rebecca GonaBigger Pockets is a great place to find a tax accountant that specializes in short-term rentals. 

For me and my goals, I focus on long-term investing in residential single-family homes in Florida and Georgia.

Not all homes are great long term rentals! 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

One long-shot option is to offer a lease at something like $1,300. 

At the same time, my market appreciates well so I gain significant value by holding on for the long-term.

@Dave Allenhello. this is going to sound reductive but if you want something immediately cash positive... i'd go with a savings account.rentals are long-term cash positive. 

This has been a LONG time coming.
