I am way more impressed with someone with multiple rentals and I couldn't care less if they own the house the live in.I have just arrived at the same conclusion, and begun the soul searching process which has led me to Bradley Turner's books, and in turn to BiggerPockets.

We truly thought it was going to be Frisco, until we arrived here and I realized what a crazy commute that is to downtown.

I factor that in the rent as any other expense like taxes, insurance etc.On the sewer charges that are metered, since I don't pay the water bill, can't tell the ratio between departing tenant and arriving tenant.
