A new person moves in and she says the upstairs neighbors are creating a ton of noise.

I could see hiring a PM once you move out after a few years.

Uncontested foreclosures move faster.Also - call the lender and apply for loan mod/forbearance etc.

Troy helped me identify properties with strong short-term rental potential, and when we found this home in Palm Harbor, we moved quickly to make a competitive offer.

Sounds like you're already moving in all the right directions. 

Ask your PM how to come up with some strategic incentives...possibly listing high and reducing every 7-10 days until it's rented, offer a move in special, a gift card, future rent credit, etc. 4.

Selling and move on.  

Starting out, it’s common for new investors to own rentals personally to access better loan terms.You will most likely have to buy it in your personal name and move to LLC later.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

A lot of things can go wrong and there is more moving parts.

Most likely due to wanting to invest his time more wisely:)If you can move in with family or friends RIGHT NOW and rent out your house and start DIY managing it BEFORE moving out of state, that would be best.Otherwise, handymen, cleaners, agents, etc. are highly likely to take advantage of you once they find you you live OOS.
