@John Morgan I am leaning towards that with the rates being so low. 

It’s a lot going on in the market so not sure I want to deal with a renter, but also don’t want to be taken in this “convenient sale offer “ either.Thoughts 

Conveniently located close to major highways and shopping centers.

I have considered this, but lean in the direction of not so I can have more capitol to invest in other ventures when I relocate.

At some point it will be an option, you may lean more on that side, but I would start with a cash flowing plex that will pay itself and bring cash when you move to the next one.Good luck

But a few years ago I sold our primary residence and just conveniently moved into one of our rentals. 

If I assume a very, very lean expense ratio of 25%, and a management cost of 6%, your monthly cash flow @ 100% occupancy ($1000/unit/month) would be $970/month. 

I think that we are leaning towards giving them the option of renewing at a higher rent, but if they end up walking we are happy to start the upgrades and justify our rents to the next people a little better.

The law leans heavily on the side of protecting tenants.
