Newbie Question ???

[Minnina Smith]

I currently own my home. As I’m starting my real estate investment journey, would it be a wise decision to rent out my primary residence and seek a temporary rental for myself while I save money to purchase an additional property for investment?

 That would be depend on how much cashflow you can generate from your primary as a rental versus what an apartment will cost you. For instance, if you make $500 in cashflow a month but you spend an additional $1000 for rent are you really ahead?
