If elementary school quality is a consideration, focus on Ditto, with Little Road being a solid alternative. 

Next year look at another $50 increase if he stays that long.That is about an 8% increase per year with rents probably rising 3-4% per year.

It's a great quick and dirty way to get a basic idea of how well something will work out but other expenses/calculations definitely have to be taken into consideration to get a better picture.The numbers you give definitely look good like and since they meet the 2% rule there is a high chance that you will do well but its still possible to be a bad deal without all the numbers.Lets take House 1 for example:$35990 Rent Ready, Rented for $850 = 2.36%50% rule = $425 to Tax, Ins, Maint, etc and $425 in your pocket which is greatNow lets say House 1 was in a trailer park or Co-op with lot rent or dues of $250 a month?

That 100k in stated equity is probably considerably less after accounting for commissions and short term capital gains taxes.

Take into consideration that you are not dealing with your credit.  

So even though expenses rise rents do not.

I currently have an ARM on the property and I'm sure rates will be rising in the not-so-distant future, so I assume it would be prudent to refinance.

I am thinking cash out now with this low fixed rate money then resort to HELOC closer to when rates rise in Q3 2015.

I suppose for right now that the prospects for being an agent are more important to me (if I REALLY want to invest in the state I don't pick a few years down the line I can get a license there too)....I'm hoping that some of you might be willing to discuss your experiences and opinions on which state might show more promise for someone in my situation.some personal factors that might influence my decision:-i grew up in VA and know the northern areas of it extensively, don't know Maryland at all-but driving to VA from DC is considerably more difficult than driving to anywhere in MD-I will only be able to part-time until I build up a good network - and in rush-hour (when I'd be able to show homes during the week), driving about 10 miles away to somewhere in northern virginia (to show a home) could take up to 2 hours.
