Waiting for things outside of your control is not the way to win at anything in life.

It's tougher to get cash flow upon move out these days but if you're patient, willing to do some work, or live in lower cost/fringe areas you can make it happen or at minimum put a serious dent in your housing expense which is still a win in my opinion compared to renting or buying just a primary home.Also if you're a bit short on cash, make getting a seller credit part of your financing strategy.

So if you're trying to learn ten, 15 markets, you're never going to reach critical mass in a market where you can actually start winning deals, knowing the market and so on and so forth.
