I was a Real Estate attorney working w/ buyers/sellers & landlord/tenants as well as emerging businesses & start-ups prior to starting MoFin.

If you have no contacts locally that can assist you with a showing it seems safe to assume you don't have local resources for work that may be needed or an emergency. 

Once a tenant stops paying rent you'll have no choice but to learn how to evict them.My number one piece of advise is to have a healthy emergency fund!

Places like Fayetteville and Jacksonville NC sport massive Military Populations, which are super easy to handle as tenants, and can consistently afford market rent.Places like Raleigh and Charlotte are massive metropolitan areas, and some of the best emerging economies, with rapid growth in the nation.

I currently work at ExxonMobil for Jacobs engineering, but I used to work the emergency service system for years and can tell you just about anything you would want to know about the undesirable areas.

It is not software that emerges organically or by accident.Cost segregation on your commercial property is incredibly impactful right now because, in 2023, bonus depreciation has been reduced to 80%, and it will continue to be reduced year over year until 2028, when it will be eliminated.

@David M.And to clarify...I do have a decent amount of cash reserves for emergencies and other things that could go wrong.

Reminds me of five years ago when everyone wanted to invest in “emerging markets”.

So I would clear around $1200/month.Big ticket items are new (roof, water heater, hvac, septic was pumped in January before fire ).I also have 6-month emergency fund (based on the old mortgage ($962*12 = $11,544).Of all of the podcasts, YouTube pro's, DR, etc, etc etc.. it's a dream to have a paid off house.Now that I have one, seems strange.Keep or Sell?

If they are getting repeated police calls, I would consider an emergency eviction and get them out much sooner.
