Why I would agree, it would be ideal to start one ourself but to be profitable at PM it seems to be a numbers game.

High occupancy rates can indicate a profitable rental market.Seasonality: Analyze seasonal trends to understand peak times and adjust your pricing strategy accordingly.3.

Of course markets change and the chances of a profitable flip have changed as well.

We have a buyer for the property and now it has been discovered that the corporation paperwork was submitted to the state as a charitable contribution even though we are listed as a not for profit organization and have been listed this way for well over 40 years.

However, as @Chad Hale mentioned, only if you can afford it - meaning both financially and mentally (e.g. how stable are both of your jobs, how long will it take you or your husband to find a replacement job, how much you have in reserves, and whether you guys are in a position to withstand that mental stress, etc.)When you mention 8k monthly, I am assuming that's net profit?

Everything is profit after that (sort of).

If you can buy something habitable, and rehab it over time while you live there, that could be a home run of an investment when you look at your return on investment, especially if you house hack.Sure you may leave cash in the deal, but if you buy right, it could still be an extremely profitable and low-barrier to entry way to get into real estate.

I planned to recommend getting the deal under an assignable contract and if you can't make the financing work try to find an investor to transfer it to for a one-time profit. 

The property is gated so many rent out all 12 bedrooms and bathrooms for parties, retreats, anniversaries, team meetings and special celebrations.It's private and perfect for those who want privacy when they need it and company when they want it.It has appreciated and is now worth at least 3 million and we are looking for funding to refinance and share the profits with our investors.

The barrier to entry is lower so they seem attractive, and to the person who knows what they are doing, they can be very profitable.
