Depends on what your loan looks like, how you manage, and many other factors.

I thought about renting as three separate rooms, although I've heard that this may lead to more issues, so may not do that.10% Property manager (although, could self manage from out of state)Electric, internet, water, garbage (with water bill)vacant maybe 3 days a month due to how people schedulea few fixes necessaryfurniture/dishes etc.lawninsurancetaxescleaning costsloan/loan closing costsno HOA for this one

Jumbo Loan What was the outcome?

The deed is staying in the sellers name until the loan balloons (6 years), or we assume the loan. 

I was wondering if anyone here had any good ideas for a job that doesn't require a degree and isn't extreme manual labor?

@Joel Oh- if you are using a loan to acquire the property - the lender  requires  insurance ....if you own the property  free and  clear - your  choice  but I would still  recommend  insurance 

For example, if you take a loan for $200K and it compounds at 18% per month, how could you ever generate enough cash flow to stop the runaway inflation from that loan?

If you have the deed to the property titled into your name, and you have no mortgage on the property, then you can get a loan against the property from a Private Lender or possibly a bank.  

And quitting your job will probably not happen right away, the income from your job will help you to get loans to buy real estate.
