I have a goal of being able to spend time with my daughter and family.

FWIW, I'm going to base this off a 1,500 SF single family new build, but I'll predict the build cost will be a little over $200/SF.

Selling before death would be a costly mistake   - you did not explicitly state this was not a multi family but it seems likely from your description.  

Is it a single-family home or condo?

All of my family grew up near Baton Rouge and went to LSU, so I'm rooting for you.

BTW there is a free trial and the Starter monthly plan is $119.It also allows you to search through consumer information such as property owner "credit worthiness," Credit card usage, buying power, age, language, family members in the house, and many other fields that are above and beyond property characteristics, which is unique.

Many who started out as Novice beginners with fix and flips and now do large new construction and Multi family projects. 

I’d say focus on getting new job and tending to your new family.

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

However, all of the investors really like the property and the care takers and they like to visit and bring family and friends to the property.
