They don't do SFR and my prior PM almost exclusively managed 20-50 unit communities.

Once the 1031 exchange is completed (again assuming 1031 compliance), I can continue to rent the property indefinitely or at any point after 2 years of rental, use it as a primary residence and thereafter living in the property for at least two years qualify to use the Section 121 Exclusion to eliminate capital gains entirely (gains estimated to be about $70 K, well under the $250,000 single filing limit).

Sounds like they don't qualify for a Section 121 exemption/exclusion.

Not a solution, but going forward...Have all adult tenant prospects fill out applications which require their social security number, driver's license number, their birth date, their current address and their prior address.

If you can live there for 2 years you could sell tax free (2/5 year primary tax exclusion).

We have had people try to move into a one bedroom with two adults and a baby.  

Usually teens/adults just enjoying!

This is because, as adults, we ALL have *some* familiarity with cars and money and we know how the business world works!

Note you are an adult.  

You are also going to have only a partial exclusion of your capital gains, not the entire 250k because you used the property as an investment for some of those years.
