Yes I still have a somewhat high earning w2 income and I will be comfortable.

I'm a Realtor with a couple properties listed in Boise, ID and a neighboring town for my investor/client that are currently rented as co-living or rent-by-the-room and getting killer income. (7.3% - 9.5% Cap rate) So far, every inquiry has been baffled by the concept of co-living or rent-by-the-room and immediately ask if they're being run as a halfway-house (which they are not).

We’re looking to install a property management firm within the organization as a way to generate steady income and keep operations running.

Belize is a low income market so we only plan to sale low grade lumber there.  

I'm a mother of an 8 and 11 year olds, my husband works full-time but I quit my job when we had my daughter and wanted RE investing to replace my income.

Here's a quick breakdown:Unforeseen Property Issues: Hidden damage, bad tenants, major repairs – these can eat into profits.Vacancy Woes: Empty units mean lost income, impacting cash flow.Market Downturns: Property values can drop, affecting your investment's performance. 

Depending on the situation, it could still be worth it for SFHs especially if you have capital gains or other income you need to offset this year.  

once you graduate would your income go up?

STR management is 20-25% (I would recommend self managing or getting a VA), since income is higher you could probably get away with 5% for maintenance / cap ex but remember you need to cover utilities and cleaning for these units which drives up costs.

Convert them into income machines!
