Quote from @Chris Menne: I am considering moving out of state in the next year or so, and wanted to get some opinions on either selling my current house, or turning it into a long term rental.

@Ketch Bays I started with the exact same amount of money.

When they pay out a claim, the money comes out of their pocket.

One of the issues I have noticed is that some people think of a flip house as being the cheapest possible rehab. 

Are the comps from the Bigger Pockets per unit figures?

Hi Rafael,Realtors don't typically do tenant placement in Calgary, I'd recommend working with a property manager instead (but as you eluded, there are a LOT of bad ones out there).

I'm a 2x house hacker here in LA and an out of state investor.

But this comes with pockets of C/D neighborhoods, and higher potential for headaches;  in addition, appreciation in these zips has probably maxed out for a while.

thanks for your time and help 1st off, full disclosure here, Rent To Retirement advertises their properties on my Investment Properties For Sale Show, so I am not a totally unbiased opinion and it's only fair that I tell you this up frontHaving said that, outside of running my show for people like them, I also own a property management company in Northeast Ohio and have worked with 1,000's of out of state investors over the years.I say all of that to say this, the overwhelming majority of negative reviews I have seen on them are very similar to a lot of negative experiences investors have with my property management company and others like it that I've worked with.

Someone might get value out of it though.
