Often tenants will leave if they know the house is going on the market- or they won't want to be cooperative about showings.

All you can do is collect as much information as possible about them now so that if they leave, you can locate them to serve them.

Hi @Richard RhekerI would always recommend leaving it up to the professionals.The job will be done much quicker and better.

I just couldn't leave the opportunity alone without the mention of doughnut shops.

Are you sure you want to leave HI?

This leaves you with $1000/month to service debt and, hopefully, provide you a return.

. :)I was going to leave it at that, but the bank foreclosed on the legal description, the property it held as collateral.

Since I am assuming you are only getting the $2,500 rents from the 2 higher priced units that leaves you negative $644/month.However if you are renting right now and are paying more than that it could still be a net gain to you monthly while getting some added tax deductions and building equity in a property.

or should I leave the properties in my name and buy an umbrella policy like 1m for 12 homes.
