Look for ones that let you input costs, potential income, and estimated property value increase to get a rough idea.

Leave your W2 or just get some side income/diversify your investing portfolio?

What kind of rental income can you expect over the course of the year?  

Well, just the potential appreciation that could be seen with the 20,000 new jobs Intel is predicted to bring in with an average salary of $135,000 a year (currently over 2x the median house hold income in Licking County) - https://www.axios.com/local/columbus/2022/01/24/mega-intel-c... 

With the potential rental income versus your mortgage and expenses, breaking even or making $200 a month doesn't leave much room for unexpected costs or vacancies.

Vs rentals/ STRs can create passive income that will produce multiple streams of income.One thing that I would recommend doing until that boot camp is get out there and network.

My SOP is to contact the current landlord and employer, require proof of income for the past 3 months, and use Rent Spree for background, credit, eviction, etc.

After that, my goal would be a steady stream of income while I take a few months to re-assess and figure out the next step in my career. 

I would need to use some creative financing since DSCR loan would be tough since no income from the property because there is no tenant yet.So, that’s where I am.

Section 8 comes with benefits like reliable government-backed income, potential tax advantages, and lower vacancy rates.
