No offense of course, but for someone like me that breathe SEO every single day, your sale pitch is nice, but too easy to achieve.

I was advised that I could apply for exemption but to not hold my breath.

Over time you will develop those skills as you understand the deals and not just memorize the facts and figures as I used to do.When all else fails, take a deep breath and say "Let me think about that"

Hello, 1st time posting, though I've been living and breathing allthings Bigger Pockets for the past 6 months.  

So let's start by taking a step back, taking a big breath, and re-framing this into it's core components. 

I recommend selling the property as is, paying off the debts and take a breath.

I can NOT be the only one with  brain here gadamn it... breathe Jerryll breathe.

Also, I feel I would have more breathing room on the flip timeline because of the 5 year locked in 5.875 interest rate versus a NEED to refi in 12 months and, my crystal ball is murky, but I think rates are going up.

I am a real estate fund accountant so I live and breathe in excel.

Breathe in, breathe out.
