Typically it is binary, you either meet the 24 month requirement or you don't...there are a couple of exceptions for moving in less than 24 months which you can review here:https://www.irs.gov/publications/p523#en_US_2023_publink1000...Look at the "Partial exclusion" section

We have set up preferred venders with Lenders, Insurance, Property Management and we are Boots On The Ground.

I would only move forward if I preferred the ceiling fan permanently...and I would have my contractor install it and then I would bill back the resident (have the resident confirm the installation cost in advance).

A couple other tips;you can’t use the renovation loan to finance renovations to the commercial space. only exception is if you need to do repairs to the core structure or mechanicals that are integral to the building (ie, structural work, sewer lines, water mains)Make sure you work with a lender that knows how to do these.

Just a couple of thoughts as you compare insurance.

Many contractors prefer to specialize in certain areas, have limited resources, and will charge more because they don't want the job. 

We were able to get a SFR and a duplex under contract last month and we will be closing on both properties in a couple of weeks, all thanks to Chris!  

With a few of them are going to be over 50k net profit for him and a couple small ones 15k or so..
