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 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.

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

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.

They work overtime Good lenders are passionate about what they do, even if it means taking a quick call (with reason) on the weekends or holiday.

I still (strongly) believe that supply will pick up in the spring once STR owners are disappointed with 2021 holiday figures, deteriorating property values on the mountain.

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

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.

Your situation (different country, Airbnb income, longer hold time) may not fit this model exactly.Negotiating Better Terms:With the bank: Shop around for better rates, consider a larger down payment for better terms.With real estate agents: Offer exclusivity for a lower rate, or consider handling the sale yourself if legal in Georgia.Holding Period: Given the strong Airbnb cash flow, holding longer could be beneficial, especially if the market is appreciating.
