Are we over-leveraged?

My wife and I own a 2 flat with 3 units in the city and we live in one of the units. It was our starter home when we got married. Now we have 2 toddlers and have outgrown the 3 bedroom 2 bath unit.
We just closed on SFH that could be our home for the next 20 years, with lots of yard and in the suburbs with one of the best public school systems.
Now that the high has gone down a bit, I am feeling a bit un easy with the amount of debt / liabilities we currently have. Here are the rounded numbers and notes. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • 2-flat, Zillow estimate $600K. Monthly PITI $3600, 6 years ($130k) left in a 15 year loan @ 3.6%
  • New SFH $600K, Monthly PITI $4200, 30% down, 30 year (400k) loan @ 6.5%
  • Annual Household income - gross 250K, Monthly Net 15k hits bank account (we tried to max out 401k)
  • Monthly food, childcare, daycare, utilities, bills and misc bullshit ~ 7k. (very rough estimate). daycare and childcare will go away in future, might be replaced by school and recreational stuff.
  • Have signed contract with property management company to take over 2-flat. Market comparable for total rent for all 3 units is 5k. Management company takes 7-10% monthly. 1 month rent for lease signing. 1 unit has tenant (rent 1k), 1 unit vacant, renter just moved out and we just finished repairs and management company is taking over tenant leasing(rent 2k), we currently live in one unit and is in process of moving (rent 2k).
  • Have only enough liquid funds to pay both mortgages for maybe 6 months if we both lose our jobs and no renters. before having to tap into retirement accounts.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
