Our manager is amazing, keeps our rental booked year round, and I never have to do a thing.

Due to some personal decisions I bought a new home in round rock, about 7 miles further north of my current place and I'm moving there in a couple of months.I was initially planning on selling my Pville home right after the move but now I'm thinking I may keep it for a few years, perhaps for another 5 years or so while the original builder warranty is still active, and keep it as a rental.

Well I'm 100% dead set on SFR (3bd 2 ba) primarily in the Round Rock/Georgetown/Pflugerville region.

I'm not going to let them get away with it.

You need to factor in repair costs (5-10% of rent), capital expenses (big ticket items that you need to replace over time: roof, siding, windows=5-10% of rents), vacancy (your units will not always be rented (8-10% of rents), lawn care and snow removal (maybe not a factor in AZ), property management (you may want to manage it right now, but should factor it in for a later time (10%). 

You might want to consider property management software that has a ticket based problem reporting system.

Due to some personal decisions I bought a new home in round rock at the begining of 2020 about 7 miles further north of my current place and I'm moving there in a couple of months.I was initially planning on selling my Pville home right after the move but now I'm thinking I may keep it for a few years, perhaps for another 5 years or so while the original builder warranty is still active, and keep it as a rental.

But might be just the ticket for you.

I currently own 13 units and hope to grow more after my current round of renovations are completed in 2021.
