I would guess it could be done but you should really talk with a mortgage professional before taking that leap of faith.

I will be taking a little pause (about 3 months off) around Christmas or New Years for the birth of my first child and for some stuff I need to do professionally, but I plan on getting back at it next summer and having those 2 units completely up and running by the beginning of May 2018.  

I'm an 18 year old beginner day trader, thought I'd give real estate a try as well on my journey to financial independence.

Not to mention you also have much more flexibility with the tax code.Other options would be to buy better cash-flowing rentals (tough in this market), qualify your spouse as a real estate professional, or sell the property.

I'm looking forward to starting this journey.

Good luck in your RE journey! 

I've been a full time professional Realtor, specializing in investment property since 1989. 

I look forward to learning more, putting together a team to help us continue this journey and most of all, I want to be financially free so I can pass on the knowledge to my daughters so they don't have to live the whack-a-mole life of 9 to 5 in a cubicle.Here's to living life happily!

I also wanted to let you know that I checked out your website Philly Home Investor as well as blog and all it has done is pushed me even more to get into wholesaling and I strongly believe I am going in the right direction because I do believe in a lot of what you are talking about when it comes to the professionalism.
