Quote from @Spencer Elliott: Long story short, land is on loan and I’m purchasing a manufactured lot as a temporary home/future ADU to my final build.

These were homes you we used to live in so the transition to managing them (lessons learned along the way aside) has been good for us.

Would her income cover rent for a new home?

I’ve lived in my current single family home since 2020.

It could give you peace of mind as you focus on your family and move to your new home, without the additional stress of managing a second property from afar.Best of luck with your decision! 

We are property managers with homes throughout Kissimmee and also in Orlando near the convention center and Universal’s new theme park, opening in May.

This was 90 homes were i bought the dirt did the horizontal and built all the homes..

VS one or 2  break even homes that appreciate just 4-5% ($24k/yr each).

I plan to purchase a primary residence, multi-family home (2-5 units, 'house-hack'). 

Additionally, properties with high monthly costs struggle to compete with fee-simple homes, affecting resale value.
