I would hesitate to say 1-2 years to rotate out but closer to 5 years, and ideally I'd try to get the downpayment higher to at least 10%.I understand your areas though-- they're expensive.

And just so you know, here are some of the factors an agent will look at to figure that out:Market Conditions: If the market is slower, going all in on staging can make your home look move-in ready and attractive to buyers who may otherwise be hesitant.

If not, I would be hesitant. 

I would hesitate to tell you to burn bridges, and to break deals off.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions or connect with others in your nichenetworking is key.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Been hesitant to pull money out of risk free 5% yield + stock market for a rental property but at some point hope to do so when it feels like it makes sense.

I've noticed some really extreme discrepancies between renting and potential mortgage payments which make me hesitant to buy a primary residence.My wife wants to move around 56 (not too far from the ocean), which I don't mind because it seems they have great school districts and we have young kids. 

I'm hesitant to set a utility cap, as I worry that disclosing a specific amount (like $500) could deter potential tenants.

Keep your momentum going, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to bounce ideas or discuss a deal.
