The tenant base, on average, tends to be rougher on the properties, moves more frequently, and cannot absorb any rent increases.  

@Sam Ojo Sounds like you've made a lot of positive moves that have resulted in you having options at this point. 

My wife and I just moved to Sacramento 2 weeks ago from the bay. 

Maybe the partner is less able to do some of the leg work or their priorities change or maybe they move out of state!

If she has too many then she has to either get rid of some or move out. 

I’m excited about the opportunity but want to make sure I’m fully prepared before moving forward.

Hi Tyler, Since you did a house hack for your first property, I think the easiest next move would be to go house hack another one.

This influx is limiting rent growth nationwide, particularly in the Sun Belt, where oversupply has led to rent declines.Nationwide, vacancy rates edged down to 7.8% as move-ins outpaced move-outs.

Britt,My firm has evaluated some smaller properties (under $500k) in the past for cost segregation, and it generally does not cost justify moving forward, since the benefits are small, and typically the tax liability on the income is minimal if any.

First month free only attracts people who move every 12 months.
