I don't think your first step should be raising the rent... you are definitely already thinking ahead to having her vacate the property, so you should simply serve her notice to vacate in accordance with your local jurisdictional laws and procedures.

You're always ahead of me @Remington Lyman  :)

Me and my husband both have recession- proof jobs, a good amount of savings, and my rentals are performing well despite the pandemic, so I was thinking basically full steam ahead. 

I had my attorney handle the quit claim into and out of the LLC, it's fairly straight forward, but there are costs associated with it. 

I feel like it would be smart to go ahead and get my feet wet in RE now so once I have become a doctor I already have properties, skills, and don't have to worry about learning something else since I will be in school/training for at least 12 years.

I know guys who hold for 5-10 years,  some guys like to see at stabilization.  12)All depends on what your investors want, there is no straight answerI hope this helps, again this is my opinion from what I do.

For the oil staind I use Dawn dishwashing detergent straight and let it soak for a few days and then hose it off .

Cash flow would of course be nice, and who knows, maybe I'll venture deeper into real estate investing, but that is not at all my primary concern.Thanks ahead of time for any and all information!

Then where you decide to live, go ahead and house hack ideally a 2-4 unit property.

If you are borrowing any portion of the money (aside from the HELOC) for your rental, it will be a different story- it's not quite a straight forward to own an investment in an LLC.
