Your only hope is to explore an exception to the primary residence exclusion if that move to Seattle is somehow required and is the cause of your sale.

I have completed one renovation via 203K so understand how the renovation process works pretty well.  I need help understanding hard money lender terms.  How do I get a Line of Credit vs. paying out of pocket 20%?  I ...

One big thing I learned in the past year is when filing my taxes the goal isn’t to write off as much as you can and pay less taxes because when the lenders look at that they do not count it (rent you are receiving) towards your debt to income ratio hence the reason why I started exploring the HELOC path.

Sadly I think money is about the biggest value I bring to the table so I think I'll explore private lending as you suggest. 

I would also explore mandating autopay options after so many late payments.

@Terry Dunlap I think it’s worth exploring but make sure you get accurate comps because I am guessing something like that is going to be hard to value

I will have to explore rolling over the Roth IRA under a custodian.I dont mind starting from scratch to put into a SD 401k, but I was hoping I could roll over the larger chunk of the TSP.I may have to reevaluate how to move forward with the long term money. 

I have been exploring App Folio and Rent Cafe as well - not sure how they all compare.I greatly appreciate any other investors chiming in!

I am currently based overseas and have a 12 hour time difference between my current target market and where I am living.Wholesaler: I plan on conventionally financing the loan so wholesalers are pretty much out since most of them will require cash buyers.Driving around and knocking on doors: I live half way around the world so I can not explore this option.Bird Dog/Using someone to find me deals: As a new investor how do I go about doing this?

This Avenue is new too but the opportunity is too good to at least not explore my options!!
