Also, I don't see appreciation being a meaningful feature of any regions/sub-markets (except maybe the very hottest ones) anytime soon so I'd think you'd really need to make it work with your income.If you can find a way to offset a future tax increase with savings elsewhere in your expenses (buying/financing a deal at a great basis, self-managing at scale, etc), the tax issue might not be as impactful to you as I am predicting it will be to the market overall.Anyway, best of luck on your journey!

I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to pay off the student loans yet, but this is coming from someone who only racked up around a third of what you have so the potential impact on how you invest is likely very different.

Them not getting along with each other has direct impact on me doing my job, for example, now I have to individually inform all roommates to make sure I can come by next Tuesday at 10am to do some repairs, because Brenda doesn't talk to Doris anymore LOL.I do understand these things could happen in a family too, that a couple could have marriage issues and have fights and I would have the same drama, but yet over the years I have never had any drama when renting to a family, whether it is a couple with or without kids, sisters, BF/GF etc...may be it's just luck.The latest is the annual lease is up.
