@Tyler GarzaYour "buy a new house, rent the old one, and trade up" strategy is a solid way to build wealth, but there are a few key factors to consider.

I don't think anyone predicted that.I've always thought for rentals it's better to buy a $250,000 house and hope for the chance it goes to $350,000 than buy a $500,000 house hoping it goes to $750,000.
