@Annie Balagot, if you have more than $500K of profit in that primary and it would be a good rental then you might think about moving out now and converting it to a rental for a year or two or three. 

I am new to the game as well and admittedly nearly fell for these traps.

Its all a numbers game.

There will be times when rent goes up, but expenses don't and in those years you are ahead of the game.

The Seattle City Council voted to pass two bills Monday, each aimed at adding more protection and assistance for residents who face rent hikes.The first bill requires Seattle landlords to give tenants at least 180 days’ notice of any rent increases, triple the current number of days required.

There are two main ways I see people successfully wholesaling land:1.

I tried to withdraw my $5k after two years and was told withdrawals were on freeze until they decide otherwise. 

By taking a proactive approach, we were able to successfully close our first two deals and establish a solid track record.

When you have a year or two of experience, then you have proven success to go out on your own.My guess is your biggest challenge will be to convince older people that you are an expert and that they should use you as their expert. 

I have aspirations to want to become a real estate investor one day but would love to learn the game through working for an investor or investing firm of some sort but I know for a fact that I don’t want to become a realtor.
