Your current home becomes a rental once you've moved out, and even if you aren't cash flow positive in year 1 (new rents - debt on new primary - current mortgage pmt), focus on aggressively saving towards a $10-20k cash reserve & have faith that market rents will rise over time to catch up to today's affordability crunch.or 2) Save up a full down payment on an investment property.

I look forward to meeting you as well! 

I'm ready to move onto my next house hack.

They need to do it while working their W2 and moving up the ladder there.

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

Moving forward, I would add an addendum to your lease to specifically address issues like this.

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!

Keep pushing forward, and may your journey in real estate investing continue to be filled with success and fulfillment.

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.
