That's an exclusion. 

I don't want to price gouge people;  I want to rent out affordable housing; if the price is too low, you get people who aren't functional adults. 

(Ie. 1bdr can have 2 adults, 2bd can have 4 etc.)

But I do work in a finance department in the auto industry and far to many times I see young adults your age come into my office with below average credit due to bad financial decisions.

My mother was told she must sell their home by the end of 2018 to qualify for the married $500K gains exclusion.

@Alex Cervantes it sounds like she might have an agency listing agreement instead of the more typical exclusive right to sell.

Like I said, I can send you a 40 page plus Legal treaties on the topic of asset protection and entities to use in unstable time which focuses exclusively on the Series LLC and the code and case law.

I know the area must be the primary place of business and exclusively for business purposes but will I run into issues come tax time?

This works to your benefit as well.A majority of people I speak to want to get a non-exclusive agreement with me and it is very much a matter of if you can't commit to me, why would I commit to you? 

Google it in your area.They also have a monthly Deal Maker Session meeting where about 75 investors get together to buy and sell exclusive (non-MLS) properties every month.
