So, if you are investing personally that simplifies that issue..Hope that helps. 

Great video Brandon Turner, not sure if it was intentional but you've effectively shown the value of the pro membership while simplifying what I thought was a nebulous process.

Let me try to simplify the question and the answer.You bought a property for $25K and sold it three years later for $38K.  

A simplified example to be sure, and I certainly have other investments as well, but I would never take $210,000 in cash and pay off a mortgage.

If it's maintenance, get a good general maintenance guy (that uses email) and a simple property management app  (i started working on one tenantsq.com but, not enough time in the day to finish...) that's geared towards a small amount of rentals, cozy seems like a decent oneIf it's communication, may want to simplify that and maybe only communicate via emails so you can check it on your time opposed to them blowing up your phone.I think, its a lot you can do before going to property management, i think you move to that once you want to be hands off completely.

To simplify things, we had discussed cleaning/minor repairs with Evolve and thought we would go through them.

Then after leaving unit 2 in Sept, went to a totally different property.So with the above suggestion, I would just show owner-occupancy in unit 1 from Jan-Sept. in order to simplify it.

As I have said before, this is some serious mastery level economics stuff that too many on BP with no real capability are trying to sum up in over simplified explanations.

So we ultimately went with East West Bank because I didn't want to max out my line but just get a simplified HELOC with low doc requirements.
