I have a renter in there now and am wondering if a cost-seg makes sense to do financially as I am planning to keep the place for 10+ years. 

Also, the whole point of hiring a PM is to handle tenant, maintenance, and rent collection, so if your partner isn’t actively managing but just supervising the PM, IMO not worth having a two people essentially looking over the same tasks.Contributing financially for one person and the other having no financial stake raises decision making questions, such as when to sell, how profits will be distributed, etc.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

& how you become financially free is by letting whoever your renting to (I'm guessing that was a step also?)

The two-count indictment charges them with conspiracy to commit wire fraud affecting a financial institution and conspiracy to submit false statements to a federally insured financial institution.

I've had so much emotional and financial stress from this house after I moved out (mostly from a mean and very demanding tenant).

I guess you could offer up your property OOS, not sure how an affected victim would get there, if they have financial means, they could fly there or drive there, if they still have their cars. 

@Tove Fox hope you find this copy & paste useful:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The key is understanding your risk tolerance, time commitment, and financial goals to find the right balance.

Building a strong financial plan, researching markets, assembling a reliable team, and having an exit strategy are essential steps to success.Good luck!
