as your primary you should be able to get an O/O HELOC my guess on the move out question would be dont ask dont tell, so residential HELOC's tend to be 10 year term, so I would maybe get the HELOC from a bank you dont do investing related banking with maybe an out of area bank or bigger institution. and set up a P.O. box or a different address to get correspondence from them (totally reasonable in a multifamily) this way when you move that doesnt change, so no red flag for them to call it due.

Im just working on learning and making connections early on and will be looking for investors in Puyallup to connect with when I make the move home to start as an agent... looking for any advice/feedback/tips/anything at all about my plan based on my age and area I'll be in.

Dollar profit might be bigger but the %age profit is smaller and for a larger outlay (higher risk) most people would want a higher reward.

(I'm looking at ~6 hours to drive to work and back home each day).My long term goal is to have enough rental properties cash flowing enough to live off of by retirement age (earlier if possible). 

Has anybody dealt with cherry oaks or any type of tree-related problems before?

I'm relatively young (31) but have learned a lot from my Grandfather in terms of real estate before he passed away a few years back.  

That is awesome you’ve managed to build passive income at such a young age through your digital marketing firm.
