@Travis Timmons thank your for sharing these details in your personal experience.

I agree with Andrew’s comments particularly because this is a home you personally lived in and know intimately.

Under any scenario, any state, someone who sits on their rights and lets someone get into the weeds to the benefit of the person who sat on their rights, will NOT have those "rights" enforced by the courts.  

I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

I personally would recommend it but it isnt the best run 3 day. 

.- Navigating tricky landlord-tenant relationships when you live on the same property.While some people thrive in this environment, others find it difficult to balance personal space with their role as a landlord.### 3.

Personally, if the property is in a bad area, this will give you headaches no matter what.

I second this, I use rentredi for my personal properties and it makes life super easy.  

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

I personally am interested in creating a long-term rental portfolio but I'd be interested in hearing any strategy, ie. house flipping, short term rentals etc.
