I personally do not have experience managing rentals.

The primary residence exclusion is $250k per person on title.

My main concern is maintaining a good relationship with the relocation company for potential future stays, as they were very understanding and realized it was due to asthma issues (I have not worked with the company before).I would appreciate any thoughts on how you would proceed in this situation.

The intent of getting a sales agent license is to educate myself in Real Estate and create some additional income.If your relationship is such that you need to hide your license, you’d be better off with a different working relationship.  

.- If the subdivider or someone with relationship to subdivider sells, a public report must be done.

I had a good relationship with the listing agent and was able to structure a below value deal (beating out iBuyers and other investor offers).

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

Find someone where there is a personal connection and at some point your relationship now or later can benefit the mentor.

If losses strain your finances, selling might be the best move, but optimizing rental income or tax deductions could make holding worthwhile.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I know that RTR positions themselves as “turnkey” but the reality is that they are more of a hybrid model - they set you up with everything you need and facilitate relationships with lenders, insurance, property managers, and so forth - but they are not the actual service providers.
