I know there's no static increase but looking for some insight over the long haul.

I actually house-hacked 2 properties in northern california to get started (maybe similar to you), but am currently re-investing those proceeds into long term rental properties, because finding good deals that are 'flippable' is a lot of work, and once I have a good cost basis on a property I don't want to give it to someone else, I want to collect on it for the long haul.

One thing great about call centers is that it is typically VERY EXPENSIVE for them to move so you may have a tenant for the long haul!

Most people don't stay with one company for the long haul anyway...so, choose one that fits your needs now. 

Just so far beyond the houses you'd get for $150K - and it is on 2 beautiful acres with a two-story barn shed, a two stall attached garage, and another detached garage for toys.

The park wants their rent and your only option is to sell it or pay to have it hauled away.

I cleaned rat poo out of someones attic and hauled trash and offered up a washer/dryer (she didn't even take it).

If you don't and they turn out bad you will haul months worth of garbage out.

It will help you understand how property management works, but don't short change yourself.By the same token, use your family ties you have (trade skills) to your advantage, but you'll still want to include the long term repair costs for big expenses (roof, A/C, water heater) so you have to account for those over the long haul.  

We've even gone as far as run separate water and sewer lines so that each unit got their own direct billing for actual usage.We've in it for the long haul and have had several tenants stay for 30 years.
