@Aaron MayThe sec121 exclusion requires that you lived in the home for 2 years of the past 5 years. 

Somewhere I interpreted the paydown we were talking about as coming "out of pocket" and not exclusively coming from the normal mortgage payment that's paid by the tenant's rent money. 

Seems like the most common regulations are (1) minimum rental period, usually 30 or 90 days (2) licensing requirements with the number of licensees being fixed (3) area exclusivity such as must be at least 600 feet from another STR and (4) applying hotel regulations such as occupancy tax, etc, to the STR.When my daughter was running a STR business very successfully in NYC in 2015-2016, the city decided to fine the apartment building where she had the STR leases $10,000 per day per unit for violation of safety codes.

He also mentions that under special circumstances you can get a pro-rated exclusion, but first want to see about the whole exclusion.Any accountants have a take on this?

And parts of the country that used to be considered affordable are suddenly experiencing the kind of rent frenzy with bidding wars and surging prices that had previously been exclusive to mega cities like San Francisco and New York City.

Hi all - Brandon mentioned on the podcast that there is now a pro-exclusive video series on no & low money down investing.

Also wanted to share that BiggerPockets is launching a pro-exclusive 12 week Rookie Bootcamp in late August, with Ashley Kehr leading the way.

There is no exclusion for home that you don’t use as primary residence.

I currently have 3 listings on Airbnb, all with exclusive 5 star ratings, and repeated reviews from guests commenting on the cleanliness of my listings.

The retention of the security deposit shall not be the only remedy to which Lessor is entitled but Lessor shall have all recourse against the Lessee provided by this lease and by law including, but not limited to, summary remedies, and all remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive.
