These properties would be just about breakeven if we decided to move out after one year.Considering all of the other benefits of doing that first deal, do you think it's worth it?

I think I was so excited about finally securing a medium-term rental that I moved forward with drafting and sending a lease for them to review and sign.

After a year I would move out and rent both units out while living with my parents.

I used to do junk removal and demolition for these kinds of companies and saw all the worst case scenarios in columbus from tenants that can pay $800 per month. check the vetting requirements, raise the price to get into your unit. 900 per month is cheap in columbus if you are buying c class make sure to take a little more like 2 months rent so the people moving in aren't scraping by

Going from owning to renting isn't a good move, IMHO.

Then moving out to another home in LA/OC using an FHA loan.This is my grand plan... let me know what you guys think!

So, you might have to wait a year or few thereafter, or move, or both.

Any tips, tricks or suggestions to point me in the right direction?
