I have a followup question - I will realize a lot of capital gain from this home in Idaho, so I think unless I purchase a new primary residence I will have to pay that capital gains tax. 

Quote from @Eli Fazzo: Hey Bp family, I’m looking to move to Lexington, South Carolina area within the next year or so.

It was successful so I bought 2 more. 

I’m in Ohio, so I can purchase a property with $40k cash out, invest $10k in repairs, and rent for a couple hundred above the monthly operating costs.

I've been in real estate for the past 7 years, and I got my start like so many other investors through reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad. 

So we gave our tenant his phone number, and he arranged a day for it to get fixed.

@Katie Lyon Because our weather is more temperate over the winter months, we have much more consistency in demand across all times of the year, so typically the market stays fairly consistent through all seasons.

I do pretty decent for my age, and I live at home still, so I've been saving up a lot of money.

This obviously will only get me so far. 

So I'm going to level quick it and call it a day.
