In your instance of being an OOS landlord I’d look at placing a property manager until you can non-renew her.

Hey Su -It's not true that prepayment penalties aren't allowed in Ohio in ALL instances - this varies based on lender and/or loan amount.

For instance, in some cases, Preferred Equity may be the only viable option to avoid default under a first-lien mortgage.

For instance, I quote $210 in Indiana.

If its because the home is old, that is more on you in that instance.

Typical tired landlord.I sold interest-only at a bit under conventional rates (my last one in April for instance was 6% in a 7% world) with low down for tax reasons.  

It becomes a calculus exercise. the extra thousand raises seller costs, but should cover the extra costs at the margin in most instances.

For instance, when new industrial parks or company offices open up, it means more people looking for places to live, potentially increasing your rental income.
