Using my slow days to fill work for employees and build equity.  

As an employee of a MF Development Company, your boss will expect you to dedicate full-time hours to your job.

To the wealthy trying to get ultra wealthy-- leverage & marrying wrong.So the difference between you spending 7-8 hours sleeping and dinner with your family, is not different than a W2 employee making $75k/annually and an ultra wealthy person making $75k/hour.It's just the systems in place. 

I feel I could definitely meet both of those on my own, as my husband works full-time , and I will be the only person besides the hourly employees stated above that would be accruing hours.

They have lost many employees and the level of service and quality has been dismal.

@Dave Foster   @bill ExeterMy view is without violating any irs rules your best option may be to live in the property 2 years and use the exemption.  

The PMS around here are pretty terrible, I've worked with a lot of the larger ones in Cleveland and I think they just take on more properties than they can effectively handle and don't hire enough additional employees to make it work. 

As I mentioned above, we're both W2 employee. 

Just remember anyone who has acted as your employee, attorney, accountant, investment banker or broker, or real estate agent or broker within the 2-year period ending on the date of the transfer of the first of the relinquished properties is considered your agent and is disqualified from being your QI.So definitely ask them for recommendations but they cannot act as your QI on the exchange. 

A good example of this is when an agent is selling you on their brokerage brand and saying things like:1) Our brokerage has "X" agents and "X" employees all working for you!
