You’re also at mercy of the weather, which you can’t control.

Some investors and property managers require that they underwrite their own tenants so they are in control of their risk without necessarily trusting the screening skills of the previous owner/management.

I paid my way through selling pest control door to door each summer.

This I feel would be the better option as this would allow you to have full control of the property and not have someone else that you have to rely on or if you plan to sell they have to sign off on it which could become expensive if things turn to them wanting a portion of the profit.

I can control settings for if and when it auto locks itself.

Also the State is working on laws  for rent control after this. 

From my experience, I've seen investors absolutely killing it from SEO, PPC, Direct Mail, Txt, RVM, Cold Callers, Door knocking, Bandit Signs, even TV & Radio.

It's called arbitrage and it leaves you open to changes that you have no control over.

Decide which of the following you have the most control over. 

@Precious ThompsonYou will want to check your lease first and see if pest control falls under the tenant responsibility.
