@Ezra Avery you might want to read below to understand Classes of Property/Tenants.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Over time, rents may increase, improving your cash flow, and you’ll gain equity and valuable experience managing tenants and property operations.

This would greatly increase the size of your next downpayment.

I think it would be financial suicide to give up a 500k a year job that you know how to do and is secure to launch into thinking your going to replace it with rental income.. unless your sitting on 5 mil plus in  cash with no debt.

Also, watch out for any litigation or construction issues that could lead to HOA fee increases down the road.Alternatively, you could consider a good deal on a single-family home or a 2-4 unit property.

That may not apply to you, as a financial professional, but I thought I would share the story.Obiously you could re-lever your portfolio to bring the ROE back up, but then you have to place those borrowed funds somewhere that nets a high enough return that the portfolio is ahead, given the drag of the interest and any transaction fees.    

Financially I do not need to have it rented tomorrow, I can wait a bit.

Prioritize your financial stability.

Identify the need that you can deliver on.Grow: you, your income and opportunities will increase as you continue to do the above.Biggerpocket podcast is a good launch point.
