I think that should be enough time to find someone we can trust.  

We ended up going the HELOC route on that property for a few reasons. 1) the interest at the time was only 5%, which although seemed high, didn't matter too much with our potential property showing a 18% ROI 2) we leveraged a second home loan with 10% down for that new property, so our HELOC withdrawal was relatively small compared to what would be needed for a traditional loan on a rental. 3) I dont think I will see the rates in the 2% again in my lifetime, so figured I should hold on to that "free money" instead of selling it.

I'd think it primarily comes down to the risk and effort involved in the investment.

Does anyone have any templates or sites they use for their lease agreements.

I think most of Jay's properties were in the 39204 zip which are more problematic. 

I also don't think you'll be able to get a Section 8 renter out easily when you feel like it or want to switch to MTR.
