In that case, you can't really pull the VRLTA exclusion.

Personally I would not do that at all unless the buyers sign an exclusive agreement with you.

The moratorium is exclusive to given ORDERS to tenants, so simply don't order them, share your desires and feelings and see what they say.

We host weekly educational/networking calls and often have big names in the industry join.

Try craigslist or other classified ads drive industrial areas. 

I work full time in the Construction Industry as a Union Representative.

I'm not really looking in a specific area in Michigan, but I do like Grand Rapids, Novi/ Farmington Hills, Auburn Hills/ Rochester, Ann Arbor, and Downtown Detroit, all epicenters for Universities or the Technology/Engineering industries.

That is to be expected given that vaccinations for Covid 19 are on the rise nationwide and the tourism industry opening up.

It really sounds like you are trying to maximize the return on this tenant's occupancy by withholding as much of the tenant's security deposit as you possibly can.Making the statement "I know they are lying" given the utter lack of any sort of evidence except an omission from a home inspector's notes...further evidence this industry might not be the right fit for you.

We are also in the process of selling and moving to a larger home so they are essentially covering our mortgage while we travel.My question is, since our house has appreciated $170k since we purchased it 5 years ago, do we lose the capital gains exclusion if we rent it to them for a few months in the interim.
