I’m leaning towards making it company like @James Wise says.

I understand wanting to invest in your backyard its convenient(especially on days when my flights are delay or cancelled or when I was stuck sleeping in the airport terminal next to Chick-Fila)  but with all these changes I'm even more glad I decided not to invest in my local market.

I would be leaning more towards that option as well if the fees are reasonable with a low interest rate.

If you have time, hit those sump pumps, batteries, leaning trees, drains and gutters. 

Get them to purchase a money order OR there are programs out there that partner with popular convenience stores where for a small fee they can bring a cash payment and their unique code, and that payment is sent to you as an eCheck.

I personally lean towards having an exterminator come by for peace of mind for the tenant.

From reading a bit and learning some basics I definitely lean more in the direction of buy and hold, to rent out properties for a monthly income.

It's a trade-off only you can evaluate (though I certainly know which way I would lean).2.

But still the MLS data is the most convenient and most detailed data Ive ever seen.

ethnic oriented, due to its very nature (and we have tons of that here in So Cal)3. 7-Eleven anchored (single tenant), as I don't see the convenience store going away.
