The heavy cleaning and repair costs after longer stays are definitely pain points but I've seen my clients make it work by screening the tenants more carefully for MTRs, doing bi-monthly checks to catch issues early, and writing clear lease terms about maintaining the property.

The home we have now in Lakeland, TN (near Millington) is definitely Class A and there is a large volume of transients that move through the naval base, FEDEX and other like jobs that our neighborhood of 400+ homes hardly ever has ever rental openings, but there are often multiple homes for sale.We think if we can maintain the right type of tenant we will be fine.

This ensures you’re protected in case of disputes and shows your commitment to maintaining the property thoughtfully and responsibly.I know this was longggg, but hope it helps you or anyone else with this same question. 

That's about what my major renovation cost (new electrical, plumbing, new exterior and interior paint) in 2022 but I bought  in-stock cabinet, light fixtures and faucet fixtures myself.  

You might still maintain your HYSA, but it could require tax filings depending on the country you move to and U.S.

Might also try one of the stock brokerages that has intl offices as well like Schwab or Fidelity.I would also get it here in the bank account and ready to spend, before you do much work with them. 

Clean the place up, then rent it at market rate to tenants that know how to maintain a home.Any time you have a lease violation, you should follow a simple process.

The issue lies within the inability to currently afford a bigger house in the area we live.My W-2 issues annual stock distributions and I just received my first one (40K).

I know people who currently have that, it started a generation ago and probably ends next generation, it's hard to maintain this more than a couple generations because the politics, religion and underlying values can't hold across hundreds of extended family members.The same goes for business/way of life.

Ron, Thank you for the input. i like the car check thats something quick and easy to see as a indicator of how they maintain their lives/ belongings.
