If not objection is filed, the petition will be granted without a hearing..Does any of this make sense, or look like what you all get each month from your newspaper probates?

My wife and I have been doing an MTR-exclusive startegy for 3.5 years, and we still have a hard time figuring out how to predict vacancy, especially in a new market that we're considering.If we look at FF's (pretty crummy) data on their website we either see very few listings, so we think "no one is investing here; bad" or we see a lot of listings and think "too much competition; bad". 

I have noticed my problems occur almost exclusively with the smaller/cheaper homes that attract single people or unmarried couples, usually without kids.

I feel the value of this condo is at its peak considering the market.Are there any legal exceptions for the 121 home sales exclusion if I buy another primary residence shortly after the sale to avoid tax?

The guests are a couple who exclusively do co-living properties just like you are describing.

When new to investing we tend to focus almost exclusively on profit potential with almost no consideration of risk.  

For myself, I am a high income W2 earner and I currently have FEIE foreign income tax exclusion but at some point I have to be able to return to the USA fully or at least hedge against that possibility.

In the form, it says I can only work with them exclusively from a specified beginning date and end date.

Suggestion: reach out to anyone marketing a unit for rent on the web, sign or newspaper.  

This exclusion is only available for properties that have been used as a primary residence for the required period.Additionally, you won’t qualify for 1031 exchange benefits or long-term capital gains advantages unless you hold the property for more than a year or live in it for at least two years.
