I have a tenant who has given notice to move out on June 30, 2024.

It's actually been kind of nice having both because I can "move up" my one bed tenants to two beds when they want/need more room.

I am also nervous about my move to the DC area wont work out and I will have this house as an option in case I want to return to the bay area and will never be able purchase a similar home if I sell it.

Just don't worry about it--do the right things at the right times and you'll likely be fine.Keep investing and moving forward!

Diversification can also be a key to a robust investment strategy, so considering a mix of both rural and urban properties could be beneficial.

Turn key is over priced most of the time.

I'm currently renting it to a family member under the agreement that he moves out in time for us to sell it within the 5 year window so my husband and I will have lived in it as a primary residence for 2 of the last 5 years (we moved up to WA a year and a half ago).

Just moved to Austin TX - Florida was getting expensive on residential side (tax reassessments, insurance hikes and mandatory flood insurance coming soon).

Also coffee shops like Bottoms Up Coffee are moving in and small microbreweries like brew dog and land grant.

Another angle is to try to use our network to find someone to purchase the house, honor the lease to expiration, and then the new owner can move into the home or do whatever they want with it.
