The home was purchased with my VA loan at 2.99% with a remaining mortgage of 393k currently.

If there are additional expenses they need to be taken into consideration such as if you are paying for water/sewer, gas or oil, trash, plowing or lawn care, HOA fees if there are any, CapEx, maintenance, vacancy, mortgage, taxes.

Depending on the state, its either a mortgage or a deed of trust.  

if your mortgage payment net of rent is equal to or less than what it would be renting, it's a better choice.say you could A. rent for $2000, or B. have a $3000 mortgage and collect $1200 in rent. 

@Erin MaloneIf they were to be done with repairs and did not finish and close then they typically are in violation.

The property is paid off so I do not have a mortgage on it.

@Daniel EhevichYour mortgage refinancing rate and closing costs will probably be less expensive with a rate-and-term refinance.

You will typically be hard up to find a brokerage that is an MLS member but not a Realtor association member. 

I'll typically contract work out, unless it's something I can handle myself - Residential purchases to turn into rentals (12 months or longer)I read a few posts and did some research, but I want to be sure I am selecting the right NAICS code.

So, our mortgage payments are combined for both houses.
