@Ed B.If you were planning to flip the property and it was a soaker-tub with jets in an en-suite bathroom {i.e. not the primary/sole bathroom in the house}, it may be worth considering.However, in a rental, it is just something else to clean and repair.  

You still have not met the 2 year minimum and, I'll be honest, the IRS pub (https://www.irs.gov/publications/p523/ar02.html#en...) is not suuuuuper clear on whether or not the whole requirement is scrapped or if you still need to have lived there for 2 years even if you get to exclude your deployment time, all the examples include people who have met the 2 year req, just not the 5 year period.

This article is a dated but there were 18 states at the timehttps://www.pewtrusts.org/en/r...Again, the OP was referring to profiting from this model as were you.
