I am a little concerned that they are newer, and also the wire thing someone mentioned.

lol  What he said I do with @Todd Burton was a bit more concerning lol.

They are more concerned with politics, and "feel good" topics, than actually doing their job...teaching their students how to learn.  

While living with tenants can pose challenges like privacy concerns and tenant relations, clear boundaries, professional management, and proper tenant screening will help you succeed.

The other thing that concerns me is you mention that you are both high income earners but that you are “trying” to save an emergency fund.

Slip and falls are a leading liability concern a property owner should be aware of and snow removal is not something to cheap out on. 

I also am very interested in purchasing more STRs, and this is a really low risk way to see if I'm up for it (we have a 2.9% interest rate on our mortgage).My biggest concern is an ongoing plumbing issue we have had.

Would the 9-year balloon concern you, knowing you'd need to refinance or pay off the balance at potentially higher market rates in the future?

I would like to go to a more simple software like Rentastic, but here are my concerns.- Loss of historical data (for both IRS audits and for personal portfolio tracking.)- Unfamiliarity of software with my Bookkeeping and Accounting team.

Other areas of concern are wetlands, flood plains, endangered species, archtectural and historic significance.
