hi, im jeff, i am interested in multifamily dwellings in the atl or pgh market. i am fairly new to investing and am currently enrolled in a coaching program during which  i have been able to meet many people in the business and have garnered quite a few relationships with some seasoned players. i am looking to learn  all i can so that i can help those people and communities that want to improve their situations as well as make a profit . 

was it the market, season, or area?

We are looking to get into a partnership with a seasoned investor like yourself.

I'm curious to hear about seasoned investors' experiences.

As for the seasoned investors, I'm curious to know how your tenants received this new information as well.

I look forward to learning more, networking with other new and seasoned investors and overall growing as a real estate investor!

I know I don't have to give them anything but I wanted to get a general consensus of what seasoned landlords do.

Bill,Judging from my conversations with lenders, there is no hard and fast rule for the "seasoning period" for refinance.  

Waiting 6 months no only gets you the full exclusion saving you possibly as much as $63K or $125K (25% of the maximum exemption of $250K in gain or $500Kin gain) in taxes but it also gives you 6 months more of appreciation and has you selling the house in the prime spring selling season.  6 months reaps a mighty potential reward.

We are about to purchase our first rental property and are a little nervous about finding renters during the holiday season.
