The ownership and use periods do not need to be consecutive.Exceptions to the Two-Year Rule:If you're selling due to a change in employment, health reasons, or other unforeseen circumstances, you may be eligible for a reduced exclusion.In cases of unforeseen circumstances, the IRS may prorate the exclusion based on the time you spent in the home.In your situation, if you sell the property before meeting the two-year ownership and use requirement, you may not qualify for the full exclusion.

I am interested in trying to avoid the UDFI, but it looks like I may not be able to.So what would be the best course of action for someone in my situation...SOLO-K or SD-IRA (with or without LLC)??  

There are probably some nuances to your situation/question that an attorney should answer for you.
