I had a tenant that the lease was signed March 1st 2018 to 2019. 

I just bought a townhome in March, 2018.

If you buy right and have the cash reserves then you should in theory be fine.But if your planning on using tenant A's rent to pay the mortgage of tenant b and c ....and live paycheck to paycheck might want to rethink the approach.

I keep my rates on the high side for the area & have had 100% occupancy since January, and I’m booked until March 2019.

I will have to get each unit ready and stage the work, so while I get the unit A ready, I can't be turning over B and C.Susan and Joy are not looking to be roommates, at least that's the impression I got. 

Across the nation just about every State homes sell not higher than before March.

I think it rally depends on your strategy, if you are after capital growth, cash-flow or Air B and B.

I wholeheartedly agree with @Bob B. and will take it a step further and say find a financial adviser who does it for a fee, not a commission.
