I really do appreciate you working with me, I know it's a hassle and headache working with a newbie! 

If you find a company that is really good, they can sell you houses in your price range, and the best ones will even do something crazy on the houses they sell like offering one year maintenance guarantee to help ease your headache.

The evictions / headaches / late payments / trashed units will never be worth it.

You should be able to make at least 8% pretty passively without all the landlord headaches. 

More than anything i would keep it separate to keep the accounting and bookkeeping headache to a minimum. hope this helps! 

The administrative headaches that come with multiple small investors cannot be understated.

Having the right business structure can save you a huge tax headache down the road.

If so, you could potentially move right back into your home without the headaches and costs of selling, then 2 years later, buying again. 

If you get a good realtor that markets your property for a fast sale at your price point, they may essentially pay the commission essentially by creating a quicker close and taking some headaches off your plate.  

Personally, I would cut my losses and headaches and serve her notice to vacate.
