They don't hide the truth.For instance, you could leave the original review up but then add to it, "While the owner was rude when he reached out to me, he did apologize, fixed the problem, and give me a partial refund.

@Michael Mainini nothing wrong with a partnership if you're partnering with someone you have been able to trust for many years but regardless make sure you have a legally sound agreement between all partners that leaves no doubt in case there are disagreements.

You're gonna sell it for $600k, put $150k in your pocket, leaving $450k to buy 2 rentals.  

Are you going to be paying tenants to leave or are their rents already close to market? 

Traditional rent would go for $650 but I estimate I'll pull in about $1,200 (gross) from Airbnb.I'm moving to California in a few months so I'll have to set up systems before I leave (cleaning, check-in, check-out, etc).

Just weighing our options at the minute, want to try and get our next house with a conventional loan so not worried about leaving the FHA with our current home.

But you maybe giving up greater cashflow/growth potential by leaving the rest of many wonderful cities out.hope I did not confuse you further :)

I'm in no hurry to move them but they plan to leave this summer when the wife retires from the hospital. 

Same builder, same house, in same neighborhood for example could back to a busy main street in the entrance of the neighborhood, could face West where people prefer East facing, be the house that everyone drives by and lights shine in the front windows when you enter the neighborhood, could back to power lines in the back of the neighborhood, could be next to the community pool, could be on a corner with a bigger lot, and a host of other factors go into pricing....not just size.The 3 main sources that most sellers use for size are tax roll, appraiser, or builder's plan. 

Lean and quick, no extra mouths that have to be fed.While you save and learn, drive for dollars (tired plexes are my favorite) and talk to garage sale holders and ask if they're planning to move.  40% or so are future sellers or tenants leaving.
