(Answer: no)If I convert my old house into a rental for 2 years, and then I move back and live in the house myself for 2 more years, do I have to pay any taxes when I sell it?

Zillow buyer leads convert at what "as-high-as" 20%?

You'll eventually need the complete loan file, but those above would give me a way to know if we want to pursue the buy further.

If you're looking to do cold calling I'd recommend trying that out for a bit yourself (500-1000 cold calls) get an idea of how many calls can be made in an hour, best time of day to call, best kind of leads to call, and what percentage of cold calls can be converted to prospects. 

What I usually see is this: • One exit strategy • A small buyer list • Little clarity on numbers • Marketing that turns on and off depending on how things feelThat combination creates inconsistency.Not because the market is bad.Not because wholesaling “doesn’t work.”It happens because the business has no flexibility.And flexibility is what gives you control.Strategy OneTurn Wholesaling Into One Option, Not the Only OneOnce you can consistently get off-market deals under contract, your leverage should increase, not stay the same.That is where additional exits come in.Things like: • Wholetails • Novations • Light rehabs • Creative structures • Eventually buy and holdYou do not need to do all of these at once.But even having one or two additional options changes how you approach deals.You stop killing contracts just because the wholesale spread is tight.You stop feeling boxed in by one number.You start looking at how to solve the seller’s problem in multiple ways.That shift alone improves margins and confidence.Strategy TwoStop Letting a Few Buyers Control Your BusinessIf most of your deals go to three or four buyers, leverage is not on your side.

That’s worked well, but as I look toward the next phase (and eventual retirement), I want to intentionally shift from appreciation-driven growth to stable, income-focused investing.I’m considering deploying ~$2M to buy 4-6 properties in all cash.

Flipping, renting, and building new eventually.
