I moved to Colorado and do not have plans to return to NM Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Tenant 1 = $3,200/month (Section 8)Tenant 2 = $2,700/month (cash)Tenant 1 just moved in a few months ago and is paying $3,200/month (Section 8). 

You can screen tenants with a variety of services online; I like to use my smart move, but there are several others.

I'm moving out of state in about six months and need to start interviewing property managers.

I moved here from Florida after seeing the projected growth.

I figured I would give current tenants a better rate for a year, but if they decide to move then I'll market at the top rent rate.

I have family that is moving to Philadelphia and purchasing their first house.

So I am not the smartest person and some of the helpful replies in previous posts was above my mental capacity.My situationI own a home (homesteaded in FL) and have 2 roommates which help pay the bills.numbers - mortgage left 155k, home value 330k, current interest rate 4.125% on conventional with 24 yrs left on a 30 yrmonthly payment with HOA $1600 pcmI am wanting to either1) turn this primary residence into an LLC and purchase another property to move into and start the process again with the aim being to rent my current house out on an annual 12 month lease for at least 2 - 3 years as I was told that as long as I lived in it 2 out of 5 years I can then sell without paying capital gains (though this confused me and anyone wanting to teach this to me like im 5 years old would be greatly appreciated).

Richard,There are so many moving parts. 

People grow up and then move away, at least anyone who can get out does (myself included).
