I am starting to save money again for my next investment, however, I am split between getting started in wholesales and landlording.

Now that I have saved extra money, i am now ready to buy another one. 

The cons of this are that many residential neighborhoods don't allow for rentals, so if we tried these areas and decided it wasn't for us, we would then sell as a traditional home as opposed to a renting it as long term rental or vacation home.I also realize I could rent for a period of time and evaluate but again, then I'm paying someone else's mortgage that could ultimately working towards my own.

My ultimate goal is to flip homes, and many have recommended attaining a real estate license first.

I plan on getting a real estate license to learn the basics and the very least save myself commisions.

It was a little frustrating, but ultimately I found tenants to take over the property the day after the tenancy ends.
