Unless you have a specific monthly target for your payment you can spread that out to make it a Win/Win.There has been a lot of growth in Denver over the last 2-3 years and new builds as well I just closed on a home for a customer in commerce city they also moved from CA and needed a fresh start.

I deal with this without charging the tenant if its not excessive. 

And even if you hire a property manager to take things off your plate, that process isn’t foolproof, as Gregory illustrates.Buying a turnkey property (ideally with a tenant in place), or opting for a syndication or fund, could be a better bet if you’re looking to invest outside California but don’t want to deal with the hassles of “landlording.”
