@Laura Kusto this is unfortunately a typical problem with turnkey providers - they put their best people on selling houses, leaving their worst people on the property management side.

(And either you stopped renting it out at all or stopped using it personally at all.) it’s like you’re combing the worst things about each kind of real estate invest,ent.

It will be an OOS RE investment for you with all of the challenges that come with OOS RE investments.  4) our worst performing property is our ex-home.  

However, if I were to do the former, I will have no money for reserves or emergency funds and I  keep thinking how the worst can happen like a furnace going out, I get laid off, etc. and now I have no net to fall on or umbrella to cover me.As much as the numbers seem to work I don't have all the money on hand to do this deal.
