The tax planning strategy that some of the posts have eluded to used to involve getting the renters out of the property, moving into the property and converting it to your primary residence, and then selling it after a two (2) year period in which you have held the property and lived in the property as your primary residence so that you can exclude up to $250,000 in capital gains if you are single or $500,000 in capital gains if you are married (depreciation recapture would be taxable under this strategy).

Terry Deskin Buying nonperforming notes
18 February 2016 | 8 replies
These notes will have more due diligence involved with not only the note but also with the seller/holder than other notes, this is not where investors should begin.Due to the ripoff artists of the past in seller financing to homeowners, Dodd-Frank now covers lending by a seller of non-owner occupied homes, you'll be a lender at some point and will need a license.
