This meeting made me realize that it would not be as much as I had originally thought.Despite being willing to work, I was taken aback by this number, because it was not even guranteed. 

Couple with it the dramatic increase in currency in circulation caused by runaway spending by politicians of both parties and you get even higher inflation.

(I do not want to do AirBnb) So I'm okay with even paying a few hundred a month if its acting as a second home, something like house hacking light.

We absolutely plan on meeting with a tax professional to plan this out, but I’m curious if this is even possible before we push to that next step.

Having a completely separate credit card just for this purpose, and even if you don't go for a specific software yet, since you are still on your first building, actually being diligent about tracking in a spreadsheet will set you up for success.

Interest rate, even if this is a cash deal?  

If you're thinking about renting out when you're not around, I'd advise using a short-term rental strategy, the numbers are strong and it's a lucrative market.The attractions there range from zip-lining, white-water rafting, and wineries, there's even more to discover, which is what's driving more traffic to the area and it has truly become a great destination spot. 

Although when doing this in 08 to 2011  I was afraid to even look..And my banks had me on a very short leash I had to provide financial every 90 days if I wanted to keep my large lines of credit.

We've thought about subbing out to a proper "property management" company but we really don't need help collecting rent or expenses (this is all done electronically online) or even finding new Tenants on the odd occasion when we have an Apt turnover (we use Brokers for that) ...

I would be ecstatic to shadow someone on a deal, or even better, partner, so I can experience first hand how it’s done and learn everything I can, even if I don’t make any money.
