A $400-500K mortgage is not a trivial payment plus property taxes on top of running your own house. 

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. 

This can complicate claims payments for the named insured/tenant. 

Maybe a better question would have been if you know how much money you have for a down payment on a property? 

So it could take a decade to get to todays market rent. 2) it’s almost impossible if not impossible to non-renew a tenant, especially if you’re not an owner occupant. 3) As a seller, even if I could remove paying tenants I never would without a non-refundable payment from a potential buyer that covers all vacancies for 6 months if they fail to complete the purchase. 4) You MIGHT say as a buyer that’s worth it.

The key will be to set up terms so your monthly payment works.

Do they require payment on site or do they give you a certain number of days to close the transaction?

As already mentioned, you could sell via seller financing to lower AGI, as all you would have to claim is the payment income - until balloon payment received.Did know an investor that had 14 properties paid off and he moved into one every two years to then sell with the $250k single exemption.

I’m close to saving up for a down payment but it’s taking forever!

Easy Street is a good option BUT you need CASH in liquid checking/savings for down payment of 20% and BIG chunk 2-3 times loan amount to buy out of a prepayment penalty.
