Desperation is not an exclusion to the rules. 

I had 3.5% rate, did a lot remodeling and heavy lifting, and decided to sell due to the 2/5 capital gains exclusion.

I chose to invest with RTR with the intention of building a long term partnership, and wanted to grow my portfolio exclusively through them.

Speed and cost/tax-efficiency are usually mutually exclusive.  

@Jaren Woeppel I own a management company that focuses almost exclusively on the management side for revenue and has right at 700 doors under management.

It's not difficult to do exclusion work... learn how and do it yourself.

Keep in mind that these homes are sold "as-is," so a thorough inspection is crucial to identify any potential issues that could affect your renovation budget and timeline.Special Requirements:Freddie Mac has a "First Look Initiative," which gives owner-occupant buyers an exclusive opportunity to purchase homes before investors can submit offers.

If I want to instead make it so that my parents' names are exclusively on the mortgage (without mine), I'm wondering if a sale is the only way to go (the loan is not assumable) or if it's feasible to refinance to get their names onto the mortgage with me, then refinance again to get my name off of it in a year or two. 

The problem is that we start seeing public push-back from the DNS (Department of Neighborhood Services, they issue fines) and the press: it gives landlords a bad rep - the newspaper does not differentiate between OOS and local.

I believed the company had liability because the allegation "should have known" was outside the policy exclusion.
