Hey Jim,I would definitely consider it, if the numbers are right.If the ROI is worth it, id toss the keys over to a property management company.If you choose not to use a property manager, I would be sure to screen screen screen the tenant.Hope this helps!

You are close enough to at least be part of the screening process and meet possible tenants.

When there is blood in the streets2.

Tenant did not have a history of skipping on utilities - we checked that in screening.

Screen your own tenants, lots of good resources here on BP, and don't let the management company dock you a month's rent each time it turns over.

I have a young family but also a plethora of resources so I am striving to do so with plenty of hard work, a little blood, plenty of sweat, and maybe some tears but, just like you guys, I’m a dude so I don’t cry… Thank you all so much for the work you guys have put into this site to make it such an amazing resource for us little people.

I would start advertising the place for rent as soon as possible, do some phone screenings, and would try to get a better idea when the work could be completed so you could set up visits after that.

You've come to the right place to begin your investment education, though it sounds like it's in your blood.

I haven't been able to become unglued from this chair in front of the screen!

In the lease they are required my permission to sublet and I want someone in there to be properly screened.I eventually show the apartment to a new tenant and he likes the apartment and goes through the screening process (SmartMove!)
