@Gavin Hirsch - How about joining your local REIA or landlord association and asking investors who are active in the market what their experience is?

It is not a big infomercial, they teach you soooo much about things you didn't even know was associated with Real Estate investing.  

Do you think he couldn't act as the agent selling a unit in his association?

@Justin Fraser has been a huge help to me (I'm a newbie as well) and pointed me to the SJREIA (South Jersey Real Estate Investors Association) which has been invaluable so far.

cite=64.34.352 State law overrides your association governing docs.

if your local realtors association has access to the tax system then a friendly Realtor can get you the list. 

I attended REIA groups, joined associations, read books and listened to podcasts. 

INSPECTIONSIn the standard California Association of Realtors lease that most CA landlords use,  there is a clause that allows for entry w/ 24 hour notification, including to inspect the unit for maintenance purposes.

New houses grow old with renters.. it will never look better to put on the market than now.The "wanting to get experience as a landlord for this type rental.. a SFH is marginal for just this one property" better to take a class at a landlord tenant association so your prepared more to do that in the future.Personally I'd sell if the tax guy thinks it's wise to do, otherwise the depreciation and losses you may have renting for the next few years might offset and keep it about a even trade off to sell later.

PITIA is short for Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance and Association fees.It's NOT the time to buy and hold right now as we are back to the peak home prices before the last bubble.
