Thanks @Dave Foster - A good article on this that helped me to understand the exclusion better is: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2016/05/01/how-the-section-121-exclusion-can-boost-investor-returns/ by @Brandon Hall

If you have a few years of tax returns showing where you made 36k on your property they would count that as income to boost your DTI. 

If it is some (unlikely) bluff to boost of commission he'll come back to you if he can't find a better offer pretty quick.

The tenant was happy and I was able to boost the value of the home enough to pull out all of my investment with a refi. 

My annualized return is therefore 18.34%Property has $76k of debt left.If I pay off the $76k it boosts my cashflow $405/month $4860/year.$4860/76k=6.39% annualized returnLet's say my original number of 18.34% was cut in half to around 9% because I had a bad year or a few bad years.

I am rooting for these guys to pull off some refinancings within the next year to boost returns.

And on the selling side we use multiple proprietary processes to boost our sale through rates, again also quite different from others who teach land.Hope this clarifies.

Considering there aren’t a ton of higher end rentals in your market, have you had a tough time at all finding comps to justify rehabs to boost your future rents and appraisals?

@kennith Garrett   what kind of boost did you see by adding Airbnb? 

This will help boost them up in the search engines.
