Simply gifting him half the property now wouldn’t immediately allow him to claim the exclusion without fulfilling this residency requirement, I don't believe.One thought would be to use a HELOC to pull just enough equity out of the current home and use it to buy a smaller home, or at least the down payment.

@Austin Green we currently live in Franklin (short term)!

It can make leasing a bit harder since you will have more vacancy when those come do but it will all be in peak season.With respect to the hiring decision, you would need to hire someone to replace you (perform the same functions you currently perform) so that you continue to work up the ladder (spending more time on higher value tasks).  

They also blame the "fake media" for their current predicament. 

But to your point, a current project I’m about to start, I can tell you I had to push back on ARR as the comps used by lenders were entirely outside of what I’m bringing to market.

Hey everyone,I’m currently managing a rental property, and my tenants have been there for a few months now.

Is this a 2 bedroom apartment that is currently being leased (in the eyes of the CHA) as a 1 bedroom apartment?

Quote from @Scott Trench: On a related note: I am looking for someone who meets the following: - Is an up and coming investor without a large current portfolio. - Has accumulated tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars- Has a thesis to purchase extremely distressed office buildings in urban locations, get them re-occupied, self-manage and work in and on the buildings to get them re-rented, preferably Denver.

Major brands like Ritz Carlton and Waldorf Astoria are currently developing property there, where they have traditionally developed in Miami, Fort Laud, and Palm Beach. 

I have noticed a lot of investors are seeking out cities that are offering lower priced lots and simply adding a Modular or Manufactured and capturing a very nice cash flow.There is a new trend starting in Florida and in other states where an investor buys a piece of land or lot and add a 'Tiny Home".
