It's simply a gross-revenue-to-price ratio.)I'm thinking of a few recent STR clients.

Considering that, you are likely going to see appreciation year over year, which essentially will be additional equity you'd capture just by simply living in the home. 

So when my clients work with me, I simply guide them through the process of originating their own loan (legally, in the states that allow it).

Even with some people I believe are honest, I simply believe most do not properly analyze and manage risk, as is evident with nearly every syndication doing capital calls right now because they didnt properly plan for rising rates.Dave Van Horn however, along with his company PPR one of the few people I trust in the real estate space.

If you answer the phone and there is an uncomfortably long pause before someone talks, it's a machine dialed number and simply hang up and block the number.

I am not a tax professional trying to sell you my services I am simply providing my perspective. 

One thing I often see lacking from the search criteria is client experience.

Over the years, however, we’ve found that we end up coming down to Orlando quite a lot, especially in the last couple of years, and we end up staying in vacation rentals (Reunion, Championsgate, Storey Lake typically).I would love to simply pull equity from the current property but given that it’s a long term rental and we are Canadians, from what we understand it’s not an option for us.we love reunion but I feel that would probably not be the best for ROI.  

It is simply the law.

Simply gifting him half the property now wouldn’t immediately allow him to claim the exclusion without fulfilling this residency requirement, I don't believe.One thought would be to use a HELOC to pull just enough equity out of the current home and use it to buy a smaller home, or at least the down payment.
