Hello,My Wife and I own several long-term rentals in the southeast.

Of course, I am sure nobody would do that on this site since that would violate the terms of service!

And then go back to the broker/lender once you are serious or have it under contract about the deal for exact rates and terms

And I think it should be pointed out that number of federal layoffs in percentage terms compared to the total employed is still quite low.  

I'd sell because you are reaching the time when you lose the cap gains exemption and that $24K would take over 2 years of renting to get back.I had a condo that I owned for a long time and I sold it despite it being paid off and having long term tenants. 

This often leads to confusion because the term "trade or business" is mentioned, leading some to mistakenly believe that the entire business can be exchanged.

Some hosts go the mid-term rental route (30+ days) to stay compliant.

In terms of getting a mentor, I had one of those and paid $18k for the privilege.

Now, I help the same type of clients get financing (both construction and long term) for their projects.

Are you familiar with Creative Financing such as Subject To (SubTo), SubTail, WRAPS, Short Term Lending, and Bridge loans?
