I have bought 2 properties this calendar year and this feels like the right next step to further me along. 

I plan to never pay tax on the appreciation with the current tax rules (1031, die with step up basis, etc).Best wishesYou are way off topic.

What I've gathered so far, is that it is more than likely a step in their process to change the electric utility back into PM's name (they took care of all bills on our behalf) by the move-out date.

Any recommendation for the first steps I should take if I want to purchase my first rental property using the BRRRR method (or flipping).

Joining BiggerPockets is a fantastic first step – it’s where so many great real estate journeys start.

& how you become financially free is by letting whoever your renting to (I'm guessing that was a step also?)

As Don explained what the wrap does is give the buyer who is the payor of the wrap the right to step in and payoff the first and in the AITDS we used he would wipe out the warp owners equity. 

Wagner - you had a call with us a month back with alternatives but after that again we have not seen any update on next steps.

Here's the deal: One Hundred and eight seven THOUSAND!!!!!!!

What other steps would you take to see if it makes sense to relax the rental criteria?
