Why, when logged into biggerpockets.com can't I comment on articles?

Scott Trench's new article   Millions of Americans Should Keep Their Homes as Rentals, Not Sell. Here’s Why. (biggerpockets.com)   is inaccurate:

"Many readers who are familiar with real estate investing and primary residences will be asking questions about the tax impact of selling a primary residence. Thanks to a special IRS tax loophole, homeowners can exclude $250,000 to $500,000 of capital gains from the sale of a primary residence, so long as they have lived in the property for two out of the prior five years."


Using Section 121 of the tax code is NOT a loophole!
