The property is in the middle of town and is close to the hospitals, so I figured that a midterm rental would be the best route.

I was living in Kennedy Town for two months last December.

Out of state, southeast and midwest college/mid-sized towns.

I live in a very desirably town in upstate NY, refinanced at a super low rate, so will keep the house as a rental.

Required distributions from qualified retirement plans.This is controlled by Section 401.

If your DTI is good, you can control a $1M asset for $50k. 

People who live in an area their whole lives (most people), have a certain set idea in their head about the character of different towns and different neighborhoods.

I was accumulating Condos and not town houses in San Diego.  

I went ahead and downloaded GoodEgg's track record to see how they do it, and let's just say it would be easy to assume they had more control than they did on a lot of the deals.All told, if the company website, and the People that work there according to LinkedIn, are not showing any operational roles, they are likely a capital raiser.  

Our local towns and rental assistance programs really appreciate those that try to work with their tenants which has helped me several times through easier permitting processes.
