Excluding primary residential areas, there is little risk of legislation negatively affecting STRs in those towns. 

Hi Tom, This is a unique situation - some lenders may allow this as a departing residence excluded from the debt to income ratio. 

My question is, does the fact that we rented the home exclude us from being eligible on not paying taxes on the first $500k proceeds from selling after two years?

Leasing back to him excludes doing a conventional loan.

I only use it for my personal stuff, and exclude anything that has to do with my rentals, which I'm assuming would be the plan for yourself.

Another thing to consider is that if it was your personal residence, you may be able to exclude some capital gain income if you sell it within a certain amount of time.Best of luck.

How much would a brand new home cost to build with mid-grade finishes (excluding land as that varies)?

This would be done by leveraging private funding for down payments that will be payment free for two years but then paid out with a balloon payment plus interest on the back end via a tax excluded sale of our current rental property in two years, giving us a very large payment of tax-free income.Thoughts?

For example, if you sell a $500K property with $150K in seller financing...well, the $150K will be excluded from the exchange and capital gains taxes will be recognized as payments are made.

It's not that complicated why a list would exclude properties.
