I agree with the post that say cut ties as soon as possible. 

just to clear: youre doing this in order to derisk the money tied up in that investment (if you need to walk away?)...

Did you mean to say states with stronger renter protections?

One rental house in our city was a murder scene and the DA tied the property up as a crime scene for over 18 months.

Getting tied to the idea of "must have this cash flow" can blind people to the opportunity to sell a property and get 50 months of cash flow all at one time.

It sounds like you are talking to agents that are tied to specific companies.

Sending you an MLS link... nothingFinding you an off market house.. the should tie you into a contract for 4-5% before giving it to youFinding you an off market commercial property;          a) giving you contact info and you pursuing it:  A nice gift          b) organizing a tour, and being the middle man and helping you though the process...1-3%         c) all of B and getting you investment partners and a bank loan...6%

Since you are renting rooms, it might not be that difficult to identify specific circuits tied to each room. 

Overlap the double top plate (called the crown plate) to tie the walls to one another.

If the rental market is much stronger, I might go that route as long as you can get $800 or more for a monthly rental.Steve M.
