She thinks it is a great rental - I don't disagree with her, it is a great rental property, but one that I wish to get out of due to time constraints.I currently don't have the time to find a suitable tenant, and have not been able to find property manager or leasing agent that I feel comfortable with.That's why I thought I would try offering it in some way to cash investors who are looking for ready to rent properties.
