If you rented a bedroom out of the house, you qualify for entire sale exclusion.2) You will qualify for 250k exclusion if you are single. 3) However, you have to recapture the depreciation you took on the rental portion of the house.

My wife and I bought a home in Las Vegas 6 years back and the house sold for more than double what we owed.

At least 3 similar styled homes, sold within the last 3-6 months, similar number of bedrooms and baths and amenities (garages, basements, pools, etc).

In Sunnyvale or Mountain View that will get you a 3 bedroom nice town home but a single family home west of central expressway is no longer an option.

Lower unit is 3 bedrooms; upper units 1 bedroom each.

Cash flow was positive until insurance rates for my area doubled.

Double check these.Before you get to deep in the process make sure you establish a good ARV based on recently sold comps.  

We initially estimated closing costs to be about $3000, but our lender came back with their initial estimate at double that, $6000.

440 SF is big enough for a one bedroom.

I've done 3 deals, my first one I worked alongside a mentor he held my hand through the whole deal and took over towards the end because I still didn't know or had experience dealing with banks, the other two I did on my own where I put up the Ernest and Option money and sent the contract off to title and I didn't even have to do a double closing because both my Seller and Buyer knew from the get-go what I want for providing my services and I'm all about fair deals, I hoenstly see wholesaling as a necessary evil.
