Too many rules.

My last note would be to try to buy 3 or less replacement properties, it makes the exchange much easier and you avoid some additional rules.

You could also check out options like Cozy or TenantCloud for similar features.When converting to LTR, just keep an eye on local rental laws, lease terms, and any rent control rules that might apply.

Our Private Message system rules do not allow solicitation.

One golden rule I follow,if it takes a long time to fix/replace when it breaks, don't buy a cheap one.Imagine, this thing breaks in the middle of your peak season and the people who can come out to rebuild are 2 weeks out....It takes at least a day or two to build something like this even if you are super skilled.

I don't know the rules in the US, but in Canada, you can do that every 2 years and when you sell, you don't pay taxes on the capital gains.

Instead, you need to meet the material participation rules.

If you have a rule, enforce it. 

If the tenant is from another state, a background check cost of up to $25 may also apply (sec. 704.085).It is unclear to me if I am actually in breach of this rule by charging the tenant more than the $25 limit, even though it is through a third party.

Consulting a tax professional or financial advisor familiar with these rules would be a wise step before making any decisions.
