We might move back to the East Coast in 4-5 years, so I'm looking for investments that can work well as a primary residence now and a rental property later.Income: Both my girlfriend and I have solid tech salaries (150k+ each).Current Portfolio: I don’t currently own any rental properties.Goal & Long Term Plan: I don’t love my current job so like many of you, I would like to create enough passive income through rental properties to have financial freedom and be able to work business ideas or side projects.

I know a vacancy is tough and it can be hard to find tenants in the winter, but you have to weight the costs and benefits and decide.If it's harder to find renters in the winter, try offering a month-to-month lease just to get through the winter, then move back to a one-year lease in the spring.
