Did you use traditional marketplaces like yelp, thumbtack, angi?

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?

@Samuel MartinTry get another primary/second home if possible.If not, find a great deal and get a partner to expand your borrowing capacity.The way I scaled with no money was hustling to find the best deals and then get a partner/investor to jump in with me. 

Location should be your primary concern if you want good tenants and good appreciation.

I'd also modify the lease such that he is the primary resident and if he goes, then she does as well. 

Not sure why you would refinance a lower interest primary loan into a higher interest DCSR loan.

Looking into buying a new primary home.

I rented out my primary home instead of selling it.

Detroit is my primary market, so if you're looking to work with some one who truly know what they are doing.

We have it in several of our homes (including our primary) and absolutely love it.
