I currently live in a two-story home in North Dallas and recently saw a sign come up in my neighborhood for a one-story home that we originally wanted.

You get all the benefits - cash flow, appreciation, tax advantages - without all the headaches.Anyway just my two cents, wish someone had introduced me to this format of investing alongside a group of other investors when I was first starting out. 

I currently have 9 doors across Memphis and Detroit.

However, I only plan on staying in the property for one or two years before moving to a new home.Do I have to live in the property for the entire loan term (i.e. 30 years), else have my loan revoked?

I have written before about the pitfalls of cost segregation, for example here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/831924-beware... and here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1075919-five-...While cost segregation is an excellent and powerful strategy when used correctly and under the right circumstances, it is certainly not some master key that unlocks all doors all the time.

@Nathan CoxThe "2 out of the last 5 year rule" in real estate allows homeowners to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) of capital gains from the sale of their primary residence if they lived in the home for at least two out of the five years before the sale.

I have 9 doors with a mix of str mtr long term and rent by room.

To give some background, we currently live in San Diego and have 3 children between the two of us. 

last time I was there some streets were like $200 per door less than what is typically advertised ($2100 versus $2300).

As an accident to start a short-term rental for more than 3 years and wanted to end it. 1) The number from CPA for this short-term is worse than any other long-term rentals. 2) the time spend for this short-term is  >=5  long-term rentals. 3) from Sep-2024, there are 6 books to the end of the year. 4) Insurance of short-term increased 27% and tax will increased without doubt.So tried to cancel all the reservation from AirBNB two month away.
