I worry that it will not cash flow when I move out, so I am trying to find ways to increase the value to allow more rent- hence the turning my half bath into a full bath.Lessons learned?

Possible exit strategies are a quick flip on the MLS, the home has been moved so I think that excludes FHA financing, but a conventional loan is still available. 

great move and great tip

I haven't had any costly repairs with tenants moving out.

My Strategy:- Buy with primary goal of renting in the future- Live-in flip for the first 1-2 years to build equity and increase potential rental price Exit Options:- Refinance and rent the property, using equity and savings to buy again, move in, and repeat- Pull equity that built due to small renovations done over 1-2 years and purchase another property w/ intent to rent, staying in this first one- Sell/1031 (thanks to forced appreciation from reno)Will this work regardless of the asset being a townhome or SFH, or am I missing something? 

I do backgrounds checks that are conducted through www.Avail.co and they run them through TransUnion Smart Move. 

I threw in a low number for both places and now we're moving forward.

Then, in 10 years move to cash flowing assets, especially since the properties are 10 years old?

However, they may have stopped talking to you because they abandoned the unit and moved away.

Thank you.There's reaching out to an Interior Designer but they may be limited since they may be unfamiliar with moving of walls especially if load bearing.
