Still sounds like light work, no more than $10,000-$15,000 ish (On the high end).

There are programs for foreign nationals that allow for financing as high as 75%.  

Borrowing from the equity must be done wisely, or you will have negative cash flow and beat high risk due to over-leveraging.NOTE: I use interest rates much lower than they currently are in 2024!

But almost every realtor who does provides a level of service much lower than a PM because they do not:- Properly document the condition of the property before tenants move in, which hurts the owner on the back end when there are damages.- Market the property as well as a PM company, which increases vacancy periods and costs the owner money.- Properly / thoroughly screen the tenants, which increases the likelihood of a bad tenant and damagesNow, it can be done, but if you aren't even sure of what the industry costs are for PM services, I highly doubt you are currently skilled enough in the area to risk doing it.

I highly recommend.

For example:General-Filters (furnace, air conditioning, oven exhaust, refrigerator, and water)-Stove burner when the “eye” needs simple replacement-Batteries and remotes that service the premises-Fan and light pull strings-Smoke and carbon alarms testing and batteries-Ensuring appliances are properly plugged in, hooked up, and used-Removing dirt, debris, and lint in and from connection pipes (e.g. clothes dryer)-Tighten loose screws on all home functions (e.g. doors, hinges, handles, socket -Balancing off-balance appliances-Cable, internet, and phone jacks-Fire extinguishers-Systems operation (e.g. security, irrigation, HVAC)HVAC-Monthly A/C filter and drain line maintenance Electrical-Reset “tripped” GFI breakers-Light bulbs (throughout and at the end of the tenancy)-Blown fuses-Reset breakers in the outside and inside breaker boxes-Socket and plug outlet coversPlumbing-Unclog drains or toilets-Caulking around tubs and showers as needed-Gas pilot lighting-Leaky faucets and shower heads-Toilet flappers, handles, seats and seat lids, tank lid, and flush kit-Sink and tub stoppers-If septic tank present, use RID-X as directed on consumer box-Proper cleaning of garbage disposal-Loose faucets and sprayer heads and hoses-Faucet filters (i.e. aerator)-Open exterior plumbing clean out when necessary (e.g. sewage backup)Exterior-Routine lawn (and pool) maintenance-Adjusting sprinkler heads as necessary-On the last month of tenancy, tenant must perform required lawn maintenance no sooner than 2 days prior to vacate dateThere’s a lot to consider as a landlord.

Usually they will end within the next year.

To which he politely says NO. 30 days would put us at June 30th, now he is asking if he can pay for partial of July.I dont really know the best way to navigate this.My thoughts:-Im hoping whatever weird thing thats going on is not as bad as I think it could be-I want them gone for the 1031/ ridding myself of this caliber property-legally they can stay till the end of July-possibly responding with "sorry we cant take partial payments"-not sure if thats legal or would come back to haunt me if he ends up agreeing and now im dealing with the unknown for longer

If rents are high compared to sales price, then you have to ask - why aren't these renters buying? 

You need to be a pretty high wage earner for it to make any sense- I'd say at least something in the $200k range or more.
