George Utah)- My wife is planning on going to PA school and we plan on making this house a rental (out of town school before 1-2 years) or (local school after 4-5 years) - I've been blessed to transition into a career Construction Management (making 100-110k per year) and am just working on building experience and finishing part-time school (I can be anywhere and not locked down to my area).- Our combined income is around 140k which will drop back when my wife goes to school.- Already investing in company match 401k, building savings, etc.- I plan on using my GI Bill to cover part of her school if possible as the National Guard is covering the rest of my school so there will be BAH on top of income eventually.Other than house hacking now and renting out later is there anything else you would recommend I do until we land another primary residence? 

I just turned 49 and my RE adventure was suggested by my wife and I ran with it. 

This compensates them for the on-going work without having to calculate a larger return from the 60/40 partnership.

Or is just on-going?

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require additional, on-going effort to maintain.

I ran numbers as a mid-term rental (such as for travel nurses using a corp lease platform like Furnished Finder) and it also negatively cash flows at about $200/month.                                            

Even after nearly all selections have been made, they're still spending several hours per invoice just to update the job notebook, which I'm told is necessary for documenting and keeping records for the ongoing project.  

I am a realtor so I ran the numbers and worked the deal.

If I build my lists in house, this would be a one-time fixed expense and my ongoing marketing costs would be limited to direct outreach costs.

Research is ongoing.
