Hi all,First post on BiggerPockets, but I've had an interest in real estate for about a year now.I'm moving from the bay area to Seattle for a job in downtown.

We just put in a bid for a job in Washington DC.

If you lived in it for 1 year and have to move for job related reasons you'll still get 50% of the gain up to those $250/$500K limits.Take the money off the table and look to your next acquisition close to where you're going to reside as you get to know that market.

I'm out of town investor, and I purchase a property in Cleveland, signed contract with a GC i meet on here, who was doing a decent job for some time, and I thought it was an honest guy. 

That's the tenants job. 

That's the kind of wave we want to see heading for Birmingham, and business, political, and community leadership are working together to make sure this new generation of innovators finds a home in our revitalized community.Whether you think CA will remain the Tech Hub indefinitely or not, this piece does a great job of highlighting some of the future-focused businesses and programs being built in Birmingham.

Personally, I like handymen who charge by the hour and not by the job.

That's THEIR job.

Their job is to finance and close loans.

My wife has a 401k account from her previous job, we are in the period to make a decision.
