I generally stay out of politics, but I’m interested in hearing investors' perspectives.

., the actual management of the property & tenant play a large roll in how long tenants stay in their home.

Without my wife's direct involvement, I think some of our homes would have struggled to stay afloat.   

If you are not well capitalized, meaning you can not pay off the loan if called, stay away from sub to.  

I have tenants that stay many years.

I stay away from them these days and just wholesale.

One way would be to get the real estate under contract, then bring an experienced partner in who also has access to capital, and stay in the deal as a minority equity partner.

Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

I am focused on building capital at the moment since it wouldn't be a primary residence for me, so I want to stay under $300K.

If they insist on staying, then they abide by the contract, period.Tenants threaten to sue all the time.
