I was a Mid level IT manager at Intel for 23 years.

I always volunteer to manage our clients purchases in person when they buy in the USVI :)But just like you can sell any where in the US and buy anywhere in the US - You can also sell any type of investment real estate and buy any other type of investment real estate.

Another option is a revised Tenant-in-Common agreement, outlining property management, expense sharing, and a potential buy-out provision in the future under specific conditions.

The more time you spend on your Real Estate "Investment", the more it's a Business and not an Investment.I self-manage, so it's both an Investment and a Business.

The best is when they move in and immediately begin making maintenance demands for things they broke themselves, or because some man they lied about not being on the lease is living there and broke it, or one of their endless supply of children broke it  and it's like you still owe like a grand from your deposit maybe don't take such a tone when you fuss over maintenance issues you created in the first place - but God forbid you withhold whatever pithy deposit they did manage to cough up for damages because they go full throttle Jerry Springer guest in 2.2 seconds. 

I just know that Tokyo at 8 pm on a week night is not something I can consistently manage but I am so excited that this is happening!

@Seth Vendelboe what's your management arrangement?

Prioritizing the stability of your foster family's housing while also managing your own financial situation is key.
