However, because my transition is still very much in flux I don't have any grasp on where I will end up location-wise (as well as other aspects like what my income will be, work schedule, travel requirements of the job - which is very possible - or even a definitive timeline) I cannot really look into the market of a certain region or make great projections. 

I immediately schedule the phone consult and impatiently waited.

If you haven't already met with your tax pro, I recommend that you schedule an appointment ASAP!

The property is scheduled to go to a tax deed auction on March 6th, is there a different deadline you are referring to? 

I actually recommend working all your routines, from rent collection to maintenance, into your life (especially if a part time landlord)...So it may depend on your situation and scale, but getting my mail box money is probably the easiest (even enjoyable) part of the job.

I routinely get pulled over. 

I'm getting my next happy hour scheduled soon.

I'm assuming talk to them about the property, and schedule a visit to the property to evaluate it , and make an offer?

If you'd like to chat and see if we might be a good fit for each other, send me a message or you can also just schedule some time to talk with me using my online calendar: 

  - I assume the rental will be reported on your personal taxes via Schedule E.
