I read up a little about NC's interpretations of fair housing law about service animal and ESA here https://disabilityrightsnc.org....and seems like it's very pro tenant and ESA where if the LCSW is abusing his/her authority and the landlord has little say in it.Personally I like Airbnb's policy better, a service animal is trained to assist a specific disability and shall be reasonably accommodated. 

Jon your interpretation is absolutely correct.

I don't think most new investors understand risk and how to interpret it and don't value education until they have been forced to learn it.7).

By asking this question it tells me two things:1 - You don't know how to, or don't understand what you're analyzing, or how to interpret it.2 - You don't understand or know how the analysis relates to any strategies you know...or don't know any strategies.There are three things every successful REI must know/have:1 - The ability to analyze markets, not individual properties, markets.2 - How money works.3 - How to develop a REI Plan based on your SPECIFIC financial goals.

@Slocomb Reed, you can search numerous threads or Dodd Frank regulation, but what you will find can be summarized as followsDodd Frank Act, and administrative rulings by the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, are unbelievably numerous, hard to interpret, subject to subjective judgements, have harsh and draculon penalties for even small or inadvertent infractions, and cases are being pursued by trail attorneys both as individual cases and as part off class action.So, a lender set up to do a huge volume of personal mortgage loans may find the risk acceptable, the enormous investment in compliance and personnel  and procedures a cost of doing business.Private lenders do not have the time, money, staff or risk tolerance to be in this market. 

I may be misreading your post, but I interpreted it as that you think you MUST move out after 2 years to avoid having to pay capital gains. 

Therefore, it could be interpreted that all of my RE valuation (including the properties that were never my home) came from my homes.  

There are also some different classifications of 'foreign investors' so I would clarify with whatever group you look at how they would distinguish that on their end as their interpretation guidelines might even differ from lender to lender.Good luck, happy to help where I can.

Even if you somehow found all the info you needed to know you would not know how to interpret it.

My interpretation of yours and GC interaction: "PROVE THEM WRONG."
