I'm wondering though, if I market them as lease option/rent to own, will a PM show the property, handle paperwork including the option contract and then manage the property or does that require a real estate agent?

The property includes a screened porch built on a solid foundation.

@Marc Massicotte, you'll want to include a stipulation addressing the closing date since you're at the court's mercy. 

Includes pool, large backyard (for the area and also a corner lot), great location, family-friendly neighborhood. 

Consequently, I am exploring the option of bringing in a local investor as a partner who will have a vested interest in managing the property effectively (skin in the game). 

The kid finally pays rent, including late fees, & we decided not to slap him w/ an additional $100.

Maybe check with your state’s fish and game department and your state environmental protection department to see who they work with or have heard of?
