I may regret the decision in a year or 2, For now the MLS exposure is helpful. 

I have intended to put the cash flow excess back into the line so that I can speed up the pay off process.

This way I have exposure to most major asset classes.

Then hire a cleaner to document and clean excessive dirtiness of kitchen and other areas that are not broom clean.

In addition, they are professionals that likely have dealt with many items like a yard being turned into a mud pit or late night excessive noise.  

With a well written description, professional looking photos, a fair rental rate, and exposure on the popular listing sites, you shouldn't have a problem getting leads! 

You hit on one key point, which is reducing your excessive spending.

.$500 is not excessive when you consider that it would probably cost you $300-$350 to get a home inspector in to do the same thing & that amount wouldn't be credited to the project.No I don't pay a deposit or extra cost for every estimate I get, but I've got established relationships with people who know that I follow thru with work & quick payment + don't call them until I have something locked down (after I own the property).......I see a number of posts on BP where new investors are expecting contractors to evaluate properties for them before they purchase- for free- that's not realistic.  

Keeping the common areas centralized with garage and bedrooms on exterior limits exposure of noise to neighbors and dealing with noise complaints. 2.

We are interested in executing a 1031 exchange into a higher cash on cash return profile multi family property to diversify our geographical exposure and income streams beyond our W-2s.
