I agree w/4plex. Be near the rental. I tried to hold on to the house I had when I moved to San Diego. I had rented it to an attorney. You would think that would be a responsible tenant. The place was trashed. I ended up selling it and it worked out in the end, but still a PITA.
You want to be not too far so you can check on it. You just never know. I think people would take care of the place b/c that’s what I would do, but that’s not reality.
