Now if I remodel the kitchen, bathrooms, doors, windows and some other stuff I could probably rent it out for $650-$700, increasing my cash flow, specially when I move out.

As always, thanks for the tips!

I know the home insurance has gone up in the last few years due to weather, but didn't expect it to go up this much.... our estimate was $2200 for home insurance, and it seems like it has gone over that .... we are also out of option period so we probably cannot back out of it now ...

We've used Mid South Home Rentals (Arlington,Tn) for over 12 years now with good success to manage our doors.When you say Mid South be sure we're talking the same company as there's a Mid South Best that's not the sameIt's OK to use another realtor to search (found several on my own) but always have them check area & expected rent to do numbers before purchasing.
