It's highly debatable whether $50k can be considered "reasonable compensation" if you make $200k from commissions on the properties you sell yourself (as opposed to a split with your agents).

I highly recommend investing in a property management software, such as Hospitable, for syncing your calendar, automating messaging, and scheduling cleans, as well as a dynamic pricing tool, such as PriceLabs, for optimizing your pricing based on market demand, local events, and seasonality.

If you sell your only overachiever to go with a more leveraged position, you could have 2-3 properties that may cover themselves or even provide a little profit, but when the rental markets shift (and they do), now you have 2-3 properties that all require you to supplement for their shortages.

Focus on high-demand rental areas (suburbs for multifamily, tourist/business hubs for STRs) and consider scaling with the BRRRR method to build passive income.

(c) Do any of you have some specific market considerations I should take into account OR that I should be researching (high taxes, pertinent rent laws, etc.)?
