It seems as if you have at least 2 children, id suggest looking at duplexes with 3 beds, or a larger home with an ADU (Attached dwelling unit) that you can rent to alleviate the mortgage payments. 

If you are using accounting software attach the receipts to the transactions as well.

If you do, use a prepaid card that you don't mind being attached to your account.

When I sell the property I make a journal entry to remove it off the balance sheet (see photo attached). 

Sometimes owners lock in long leases at cheap rents because they are emotionally attached to the tenants.

The only exception to that is the Eastern Panhandle near DC.I’m not sure about this specific deal, but knowing the location and little to no cash flow, no way I would buy this. 

IMHO Have campaigns for phone text email follow upHave a phone system Have a text system Have an email system Have chat both external and internal Have webforms Have RVMHave conference roomsHave file storage Have a CRM attached and seamlessly churning data  I use calltext.com however I also own it. 

I feel like we are stalled out because it is too personal and we are emotionally attached at this point.

I found a property in a very good area of Southern California where the seller added 2 additional units (attached) to the back of her house.

Having trouble analyzing this deal as there are so many variables and I do not have the experiencing analyzing deals to make me feel comfortable taking the risk.Purchase price of the land would be $250,000 not including closing cost or fees, and construction for a new 3/2 home with an attached 1/1 ADU is estimated to cost around $300,000 - $400,000 finished.
