This property also launched my short-term rental journey, running our first Airbnb before transitioning it to a steady cash-flowing rental, allowing us to scale into bigger projects.

This allows you to access some of your equity without needing to refinance your first positions.

Or sell using the 1031 exchange along with a partial 121 primary residence exemption There is a way you could take advantage of the 121 primary residence exclusion allowing you to take the first $250k of the gain tax free ($500k if married) and qualify for a 1031 exchange.Say you purchase a property as your primary residence (house hack extra rooms for extra income) and lived there for two years while stationed there.

We're not allowed to do this. ;)Moderators: notice that this was just a joke between two colleagues, both tax professionals.

I'm actually hearing that it will be allowed for residential multi family as well, although haven't confirmed that.

What's the lowest credit score you will allow?

Tax deductions / write-offs should be a second concern.There are some rules that you need to follow to treat a short-term rental as 'active'(non passive) income which would allow you to offset it against other forms of income such as rental income / wages.

Once the tenant moves out you are allowed to charge any amount you like.

This has also allowed us to provide some excellent incentives for our investors, locking in long term debt currently at 3.75%  through our in house financing program.

The law allows you to put all the deposits in one account.
