Also look at those Vrbo and Airbnb calendars and see how full they are and what nightly rates they are getting.Should be easy from here to see if a new property would pencil in or not. 

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. 

Welcome to Biggerpockets Monica and good luck investing!

You’re going to have to buy at least $1M (or whatever you clear after selling costs.), worth of replacement properties, not $500k.

I'm trying to figure out a way to utilize a large storage building at one of my MTR listings in Memphis.

That then registers the property at a new “base rate” and your future rent increases all be “base rate” + Inflation as guided by the town.

And, if you are going to buy someone's time and expertise to train you, DO THE WORK. 

If so, they can sell within 2 years and not pay capital gains taxes on the sell of the home.They could take that money and buy multiple rental homes in other areas if they wanted, or use the money to downsize in to a different home while still having money left over.

I guarantee your life would be so much better if you removed her and replaced her with a good renter.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

You can also offer to lease with an option to buy to tie up the property until you are ready to purchase.
