I have never had to ask them to leave, but they did tend to move sooner for work opportunites or marriages.

In retrospect, I wish I started sooner.

When you do rent it, I would set up the leases so they all end in the warmer months ( this is what we do) that way when you do have a vacancy you are more likely to rent it sooner and no cost to heat when warm out.And as @Cassi Justiz mention pictures are very important, bright, clean and staged always works well.

However, they might receive their capital sooner, later, or not at all." 

Hopefully this gets resolved sooner than later.

Sell it yesterday...if not sooner. 

If we get the loan paid down to the point where we're paying more in principal and less on interest we could have the house paid off sooner and make complete profit other than utilities on it.

. :)If a career as an agent were your goal, then that would be a different scenario and it would make more sense to look at freeing up your time sooner rather than later, but it would still be a major decision to quit your job to focus on that if you weren't sure you had enough financial reserve or else clients lined up.As others have mentioned, many people invest without a license, and many agents don't invest at all.

But sooner or later, you won't.

I'll get around to a proper intro in the appropriate forum and adding some profile info sooner or later.I have a 2-family rental in Boston that has appreciated considerably since we bought it but rents haven't kept up.
