I am planning on automating 3 of my main accounts and was thinking it would be a good idea to use my home IP as a proxy.

Wondering what are the pros and cons of this.
 
It depends on your settings.

But is your home IP rotating or fixed? Check if your ISP rotates IPs regularly or on router restart.

If your IP rotate regularly, try to identify how long an IP stays active and adjust your accounts' actions in such a way so that each account will be active on the newly allocated IP address.

But, if your provider allocates a new IP on router restart, see if you can do something to restart the router/reboot the router just before an account is about to do some actions.

Generally, from an IP perspective, you'll want each account to be isolated from the other accounts.
 
pros: you'll save the money from paying for 4G proxies.
cons: your account will likely get banned.

I wouldn't put 3 accounts on a residential proxy nowadays, if you're going the home made route make your own 4G proxies with a sim card.

Just ordered a Huawei E3372 AND 2 T-MOBILE SIM CARDS.

Do you know what kinda plan I need to get from T-Mobile?

I think it changes on its own but not very often. I decided to go the 4g route anyways and ordered everything I need. Just trying to figure out what T-Mobile plan I need. Good idea to go slow after IP change tho.
