The original plan was to live in one unit (as requird by the loan terms) for one year and rent out the other, then move & rent both units after the 1 year requirement (currently living with relatives).

I stopped using that years ago and have no plans to use it in the future—it’s just not worth the risk.

@Vicente HernandezReal estate agents tend to prefer property management firms that have clear payment plans, fair commission rates, an easy referral system, prompt payments, assistance and tools, and a good standing.

That sounds like a fantastic plan!
