This very timely question. Unfortunately I do not have answer for that but we are contemplating to do the same. We own side by side duplex and we are not sure what will be the best approach. We plan to move to Europe for 2 or 3 years and we need to decide if we should rent it to our grown kids in exchange for paying taxes, and regular maintance and upkeep of the property, or we should keep tenents on both sides, and hire property manager to take care the rest. Our sons will one day inherit this property. Hopefully others that have rental property can come up with good ideas.
