Before listing the property, we were using it for ourselves and our family and friends.

As I dive into all the different paths I can take (single family vs multi-family, short term vs long term, cash flow vs appreciation, local vs out of state, etc..) my mind is scrambling and I've ended up doing nothing at all.I'm looking to join a mastermind that meets consistently and can really motivate one another to take our businesses to the next level. 

We are looking at a duplex first probably and then single family.

Quote from @Jared Goldwasser: I live in Los Angeles and am looking to purchase my first investment property this year -- interested in single family or duplex units.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Christina Tsutsui-Tharp: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) other investment.

Yep, avoid working for friends and family. 

Sounds like we are in the same boat with a handyman :) And to @Jonathan Klemm point, I have to weigh the mental capacity of handling issues remote versus spending time with family.

Does anyone have a trusted move-out checklist they provide to tenants of single-family homes?

He is currently protesting a rent increase, and travelled from NY to FL to personally harass my family and I last week.
