@Edward E Ashley Welcome to BP.

And that you take title within 180 days of the closing of the first sale (the first exchange that will expire).2.

Legally, you are not allowed to rent to someone else until the contract has expired. 

Hey @David E Fitzgerald IVIll shoot you a message too!

Of course, they also have flexibility to move out on shorter notice.If I KNOW I want them out after 1 year (too much drama, not getting along with neighbors, etc) and they have not violated the terms of the Lease, I simple do not renew the Lease when it expires in month 12 and give them proper advance notice.If they refuse to move out, they are “Hold Over Tenants” and can be evicted.If they are great tenants, sign a renewal for 12 months (but be sure to include a rent increase, even a small amount, so they come to expect it every year).I try not to have my Leases expire in the months of Nov through February.

I have been a Realtor for about 4/5 years now and have a decent amount of liquidity saved up (just under $100k) to be invested into my first rental property.To be honest, I have been considering buying Section8/Affordable housing properties due to their "guaranteed" rent/tenant stability. 

I understand that they can be dangerous from the perspective of historically they were predatory and people purchased properties that they couldn't afford, getting hit hard with the intro interest-only period of 5/7/10 years expire... but I see it as a flexibility option.

The rate through Vanguard is higher than the HELOC through PenFed of 5.5% but still nice to access additional capital vs liquidating stocks or using cash. 

We will be renting out the 3 bed side for $1100 once the existing lease expires.
