Default TV Absentee Landlords

As I sit in Oregon and think about my options.... (can't sell right now), (could wait until :dontknow: I sell), would it be practical buy property in TV now and rent it out, or let it sit vacant with a manager -- that's where I need some advice.

To all the TV landlords who don't live on their property (except to visit occasionally) if it's not too personal, may I ask for details - like who manages your property? What's the bottom line on cost for management? Assuming the property is F&C, can I assume total maintenance runs around $1,000 per month PLUS the management fee ?

As I recall reading somewhere on TOTV..... some people who do this, break even if the place is rented, if not - what would be a realistic figure for the cost of this endeavor?

THANKS for any answers ;D
