Overall - that changes things dramatically. You are talking about $4k/month housing expenses if you lose a tenant. You would never lose a tenant? Haven't we all heard that one before? Does anyone pay attention to the news?
Sounds pretty darn risky. Which is probably why you have reservations in the first place.
I'd change my vote to "foolish" if I could. Though I am notwless clear on your current situation - like where you are living now. Or if it makes more financial sense for your spouse to try out the job and not pick up and move everyone now, etc.
More information is always interesting. Usually why I answer "it depends" with so many of these things...
