I figure this is a bad solution since the tree will continue to cause issues.Has anyone else ever ran into an issue like this in the past? 

Now I'm not referring to trying to time the market because very few, if anyone can do that but just learning the value of staying patient as my goals are to buy and hold rental properties.Overall, my new game plan is to continue to learn and practice running analysis on properties and to work my but off at my job to have enough cash for when the market does cool off a bit to purchase 1-2 properties.

I also will continue to build out my personal brand for investing and consulting as these two ventures will complement each other nicely.

So I currently own 4 rentals, looking to continue purchasing them.

And I predict that it will continue to grow.

I’d like to continue to buy more rentals and connect with other investors, landlords, lenders, etc in the Grand Rapids area.

It is a good idea to:Spur them into action to redeem; and/orLegally gain official possession of the property in case there might ever be some dispute about whether you were physically in exclusive and continuous possession.

(Easier said than done, but willing to go at it.)Question boils down to: Should we continue to take advantage of no/low-down owner occupied program everytime we move?

Fortunately, we are continuous renovators, and we have several pieces of property that we have been able to purchase and rent with excellent returns.  

I'm interesting in looking at markets in other cities and would like to get involved in multi-family properties and as I continue to learn begin innovating.The ultimate goal for me, like with many, if not most, others, is to attain financial independence as well as security.I'm super excited to get involved and learn as much as I can within this wonderful community!
