I'll let one of the numbers experts address the financials of the deal, although at first blush it doesn't look unreasonable.But I think you're asking for additional advice on the RISK of the investment, based upon your personal financials.

Honestly I already have lined up a realtor to rent it for me, and also a crew to go in and redo the kitchen.In my lease expiration notice I mentioned he does NOT need to pay last month's rent, and I still have his security deposit and would send it to his new address after deducting damages if any, and scheduled a walk through inspection on the last day 6pm and that I expect the place to be cleaned, free of debris and trash and personal possession blah blah blah.Then suddenly this month I got a check on the 10th, when I didn't expect it, with late fee already included.

How do you approach addressing comments that appear to be rooted in jealousy?

That lists the address the tax bill is sent to.
