My wife currently stays home with our 3 children and I work a mid-level corporate job ($76K salary), so my DTI ratio is high.I have identified 30 properties in my area that are either vacant land or are occupied but make some sense to slice off 7-12 acres for this move.

Where is a large manufacturer moving to?

I always had a roommate when we moved in.

Did your tenant file federal accommodation paperwork before she moved in? 

Two on the lease decided to move out while one has not.

Set shared space expectations before the tenant moves in and have those expectations in writing.

This city is experiencing rapid growth, with many large companies planning to move to the area in the next few months, which will result in an influx of new residents and a wealth of job openings.

Population is growing aggressively and jobs are moving here especially with major employers like Intel, Google, Amazon, Nationwide, etc.

but if it showed success it would likely give me the needed knowledge and comfort to move forward with other Multi fam deals instead of specifically focusing on single fam.

Do you turn over to PM or do it yourself and how do you simplify things as you move forward.Also trading real estate for stocks is not just a way to diversify.
