Quote from @Clifford Pereira: Hi, my wife and I started an Airbnb in Sacramento, CA, this year and are new to real estate investing.

Depending on the salaries of the new jobs they may also price out the local residents on new home sales which would further drive up the price.

It should go without saying, but I do understand when you're new to real estate expectations can be out of line with reality --- if you finance 100% of a deal you will not see any money out of the deal for many years and will be putting money in for many years.

There is always a transition period where selling owner stays on and over time new owner transitions into full control.

Don't change jobs or income yet.Once you do and you think you can manage the payments based on your new income, maybe once you get the rooms rented.Then if you want to switch there are plenty of opportunities.
