Having to pay a mortgage somewhere and rent somewhere else sounds incredibly stressful. 

You will make the same amount of money, with less stress, more stability, and less wear and tear.

I know they could have been pulling the wool over my eyes, but it was only 3 days and I wasn't going to make a stressful situation worse.

When I met her, she was working full-time at Walmart to make ends meet, and she had severe health issues from the stress.

Only my opinions of course, but I would find a locale where they are not unfriendly to landlords and find the best deal you can that makes you the most $$ with the least stress.

I had to rely on my new real estate agent to find another contractor, adding unnecessary stress to the process.The deal I was presented with had an ARV of $120,000, but after the rehab, the appraisal came in at only $92,000, leaving me short by $28,000.

It happened for other things as well, and if you complained, they will apologize but never correct it next time.I ended up feel very frustrated and stressed after using them.

Ask how they handle routine maintenance and emergencies and whether they have established relationships with cost-effective and reliable vendors.By focusing on these critical factors, you’ll be in a solid position to hire a property manager who can take the stress out of managing your rental property while helping you maximize your investment.If anyone has more specific questions, feel free to ask—I am happy to share more detailed advice!

Compare that to my C class outside Chicago building where I deal with it almost monthly and got so stressed I ended up signing on a manager which has been a huge drag on the returns. 

This is a basement apartment, I not only advise to run a dehumidifier but I stress to her the importance of doing so in the summer months, and provide her with a brand new, 400$ dehumidifier when she moved in.
