A lot of people I have been communicating with have advised to go toward rentals.

Similar to Memphis Invest, they have good communication and good systems.  

If we are able to establish and maintain a good landlord-tenant relationship by using open-honest-clear communication, by providing good value, by keeping our property well maintained, and by treating our tenants respectfully and fairly, we are likely to have better outcomes.

It has become clear to me that while I don't need my hand held, frequent  communication with the PM is a necessity.

Run the numbers and dont let your emotions get the best of you.Hope this helps.

Tenants are more likely to perform well, in a manner consistent with "good" tenants if they are treated with respect and clear communication is established from the beginning.

I WOULD RECOMMEND that you do your own property management if your able to create contracts and interview tenants, and communicate and document information about the repairs the tenants need to make. 

We strive for a great experience for everyone involved and we stick to the letter of the agreements and have found that it cuts down on emotions and he said she said.

Run the numbers and dont let your emotions get the best of you.Hope this helps.

Based on the communication my workout specialist had with the wife(who is no longer responding and apparently is separated from husband and doesn't live in house) the house may be rented out.
