The exemption is for tax purposes/discounts, not the legal definition of homestead. 

The studies can address current year assets as well as those placed in service in prior tax years without the need to amend prior tax returns.ConclusionUnderstanding the difference between short-term and long-term rentals is crucial for real estate investors, particularly when it comes to depreciation and tax planning.

I get 1000/rent - minus 10% I pay to property manager. 

Option A, we list at this price, Option B, if you want to sell at a discount today I have a list of cash buyers that will pay 60% of that price, Option C, if you will leave the existing financing in place and sell it Sub2, then some of those cash buyers will pay 70% of Option A, or some variation of that.I guess it depends on what city your are in. 

If we resided in a property for 20 months in the last 5 years, does the IRS consider a "partial" capital gains tax exemption?
