For anyone that is well-versed in this topic, have any tax laws changed recently>The article mentioned: https://www.kitces.com/blog/limits-to-converting-rental-property-into-a-primary-residence-to-plan-for-irc-section-121-capital-gains-exclusion/

Upon a walk through before closing, we discovered the occupants are still there.The purchase & sales agreement stated that "buyer shall obtain possession at closing - property shall be free of all tenants & occupants as well as personal property".The mother of the family owned the property; she lives in Michigan.

I live there for free and make a little extra cash flow every month.I quit my job in August 2019 since I had saved up enough cash to buy a home and then travel for ~6 months as I get my blog business off the ground.I want to purchase another property (personal residence) this summer (when my one year mandatory primary residency is over) using an FHA loan, and turn my first property into an investment property.I have great credit and enough cash to do the deal myself (if I can get the 3.5% down FHA loan) and if I can't my sister and I are going to go half and half on the new property - I live in it for a year, then turn it into a full rental the next year and repeat.My problem is that I don't have a job right now and haven't been making too much money from my blogging business (yet).
