Check if there was any hail damage right away (siding/roof) and have current owner contact insurance while its under his insurance. get that done before closing otherwise you might not be able to get it done with yours as it was a "previous" damage.
Renting is always a good option IF you are sure you can get steady renters.
You will always have stuff to write off at the end of the year and if you make few bux it will compensate for income and you will get lots of $$ back at the end of the year.
Grats and good luck!

Yeah, I think we'd enjoy selling the townhome first, but we are going to look at renting a little as well.
The roof on the house is new as of 6/07 because of some of this years storms. So that's a perk, for the most part it's ready to be moved into with having to do nothing if we wanted.
But...... This is the plan of sorts for the first weekend
- paint dining room, living room, and all 3 upstairs bedrooms.
- rip out carpet in smallest bedroom and install new carpet
- possible do the same for matser bedroom (3rd bedroom has nice original hardwood remaining)
- rip down panneling wall of one lower level room, drywall it up while adding 2-3 more outlets, mud, tape, and paint. Rip out carpet in same room, rip out vinly flooring under that, install water protectant layer and probably new laminate flooring over carpet (not sure on which yet). Then wall it off as a bedroom.
- main lower level room get's outlets raised up a few inches, new flooring as well (rip out old carpet) and full media upgrade (built in speaker outlets).
That covers a lot of the base shit to do before we would move everything in for good.
Shit, that is going to be nutty. Looking forward to adding to the home thread. Looking forward to supplying beer & food like mad for anyone who wants to help. lol
