The real estate business is capital intensive & has a certain return profile. 

However, I spend a lot of time managing it as I am renting out by the room and the tenant profile is lower income.

We work with many investors who fit your exact profile- they are looking for a solid investment property which they can also use and enjoy to make family memories.

Click on the BiggerPockets logo in the upper-left, or click on your profile image in the upper-right and navigate to your Dashboard.

Please make sure you cancel your membership in the Billing & Payments tab in your profile prior to calling.

I don't know what state you are in because you did not fill out your profile, but in Texas you can give a 30 day notice to vacate when you dont have a lease or on month to month.

The truth was (and still is) that most SFR owners were small local mom and pops who intentionally kept low profiles and built systems not to scale but to keep their sanity as single operators.

I review vacation rental management websites, Airbnb Host Profiles, I secret shop via phone calls and emails.

You might consider investing in debt as it can be much more passive with a completely different risk profile.  

The real question is how much interest rate and how many points based on your specific profile, which will become clear when you provide all your information to a mortgage lender?
