@Grant StuardYour portfolio now stands at five properties, which is great, and reaching 30 rentals is an ambitious objective.

I know flipping is a shinier object then wholesale and looks good on TV, but I must say I don't envy full time flippers! 

To meet your objective is probably a near full time endeavor.   

What @Michael McDevitt is saying is far more reliable than any "objective" rating service. 

I was listening to one of the BP podcasts the other day, it was with Tom Krol, I believe but I might be wrong, and I loved his advice that if someone told you that they had taken one of your family members hostage and you had to get a deal under contract within 72 hours, you probably wouldn't spend your time worrying about getting your website perfect or how your business cards looked.  

If you convert your home prior and decide to rent or live else where in the interim, then decide to use FHA to qualify for a new primary you can use the rental income with out restrictions of the 100 mile rule and still qualify for FHA.Their (FHA) guidelines are rigid, but with proper planning you can adhere to the guidelines and accomplish your objectives while avoiding the unintended consequences of the rules.Best practice would probably be to wait a few months after moving till utilizing your FHA loan to obtain another property.FHA does have a max of 7 financed properties including the FHA insured property (6 rentals + 1 FHA primary) so it looks like you're riding up to your max with the current of 6 financed properties.

Sounds like we have similar objectives.   

The lender will probably not object, since it will assume the seller has implemented an estate planning device.

Being that wholesaling is costing me more than it's making me... that would have been a viable option.Since I'm looking to make buy and hold my main objective, being a RE agent means tons of overhead.  

I can't see why a landlord would have any objections to this as from their perspective you are putting more skin in the game by having your future credit take a hit if you fail to pay rent and pay on time.
