Does renting the home while deployed void the eligibility for exclusion of gain, even when the home was lived in/primary residence for 2 of the last 7?  

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

The landscape is just different than even the last 3 years with people making bad calls but getting saved by significant appreciation. 

However, that was our first year and we really didn't even get it listed until March.  

This can give you flexibility for purchasing or even renovating the next property.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

With the idea you get your 6k back when fund deal/deals  MLM all the way sell the futures and the deals that Cogo did pay me off on as you stated took forever to fund and the rates were even higher than mine :)  Its just a very good Guru selling his stuff we all know they make the money selling the 6k how to become a lender. :)  

Insurance typically covers only the directly damaged area, not undamaged flooring, even if it's continuous.

So, you will need to stand behind the LLC's debt even though the debt will be in the LLC's name and not on your credit report.3.

Ask lots of questions, read as much as you can, and then ask even more questions.
