I have done BRRRRs in Milwaukee for a decade+ and if I am not on the job 2-3 times a week, things go sub-optimal.

The cons as i see it include loosing the 2 of 5 year cap gain exception, typically not an ideal rental because the emphasis at purchase was buying a good home for your family and not a rental with optimal return (my ex-home consistently has the lowest cash flow for equity in my RE portfolio), not disconnected enough from the property causes addition angst on damage and may result in over improvement.  

In other words, I'd hope to pay market price to rent the place out so the home buyers can get an optimal but realistic return on their investment.So my goal to make this appealing to me, as a potential renter, is to also be one of the buyers.
