The office staff know each other well, and he runs them very similarly, so they can fill in at another property if something happens or someone needs an extended leave (ie pregnancy).That said; I agree with Jack in that your evaluations should ensure that the deal makes sense using teams specific to each property.

[Wedding, Wife Pregnancy, Birth of First born, running my own business] all took priority.

Perhaps it's pregnancy hormones that have me feeling a certain way about this, but I am absolutely floored.

Omgosh, @Chris Newman, the word I meant was "wary", but certainly "weary" has its applications these days- I'm 32weeks preggo & pregnancy brain is in full effect.

However, the reward is huge, as we will now be able to afford for me to be a stay at home mom in a high cost of living area due to the net profits we make from our rentals (plus my husband's salary).So, I'll be taking the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy off, making today my last day at work. 

For example: After a ton of research, I have determined that for a low risk pregnancy a hospital is the worst decision I could make for myself and my baby.

We pay $520/mo but pregnancy or rehab (drug, alcohol) aren't covered and we have a $6k annual deductible.    

I'm very excited, and can't wait to meet my daughter, who is due in early April, but needless to say, pregnancy makes the process of transition careers even more complicated than it already is.

My church is the bulk of it, but also Serenity Pregnancy Resource Center, YoungLife, Manna House Food Pantry, Compassion International, and then we always donate to one-time fundraisers that pop up.

What are your family plans over the next 5 or so years (meaning -- might you lose wife's income due to pregnancy, etc.)If the profit from the AirBnB is $20k - $30k a year (after paying its mortgage off), is that enough to pay your mortgage?
