(Leaving wholesaling behind to get into buy/hold investing).

I'm leaving my current job at an artist management and booking agency to obtain my NY State real estate license at the beginning of 2019.

there are moral and ethical arguments in this scenario that your glossing over..were it becomes illegal Is as I stated the bad people get in there rip the rents and never pay and leave the poor seller out to dry..

If you can't average this it leaves a ?

She asked him to leave he said hes not paying and she has to file an eviction.

Yeah, the guy with the Bripple homes would probably be better off selling them as a single family home once the renters leave, instead of trying to sell them as rentals to investors.  

That would leave me with no where to live though so I would have to find another property.I could use an FHA loan but I don't like the idea of PMI for the life of the loan.

I am going to leave it as a duplex, it makes a lot more sense after taking everything into consideration!

Sometimes I leave enough in to get an acceptable Cash Flow.  

If they are (when you invest), then you're doing it wrong...and you're probably leaving all kinds of opportunities (money) on many tables.
