I'm willing to bet you work 40 hours a week or less.

Though that is a risky bet in most cases if you don't know and you can lose everything that you invested in.

I have been a ll for decades and would never expect a tenant to pay for any of this.At the end of the day you must decide what you need to do regardless of the opinion of a bunch of internet folk!

When we loan money, we are betting on the person we gave the money to.

I think trying to bank on appreciation is never a good bet.

I can think of mortgage, taxes, insurance, STR insurance, water/sewer, electricity, trash, internet/cable, cleaning (can pass through), supplies, and software.

i'd never tell a random person on the Internet "yes you should definitely move to Ohio!"

I bet you are very close to your first deal. 

As things become less and less affordable we are actively seeing more people push to an hour away from a city, even into rural areas, as long as the internet speed is strong enough. 

Austin, I think thats my best bet.
