Can your service business serve as collateral for a Business Line of Credit?

If you will send me the actual P&L from the property and a market analysis I can give you a better picture.

The three exemptions listed are  Any portion of the 5-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange after the last date you (or your spouse) use the property as a main home;Any period (not to exceed an aggregate period of 10 years) during which you (or your spouse) are serving on qualified official extended duty: As a member of the uniformed services;As a member of the Foreign Service of the United States; orAs an employee of the intelligence community; andAny other period of temporary absence (not to exceed an aggregate period of 2 years) due to change of employment, health conditions, or such other unforeseen circumstances as may be specified by the IRS.I am trying to figure out if exemption 3 is applicable if you go over 2 years, and you would be trying to figure out how much of exemption 1 applies to your situation.  

Maybe a bit against the grain of all the great advice I received, I went ahead and served the rent hikes to all 6 potential candidates. 2-3 of these were M2M and also happen to be my worst tenants by far.

Once completed, then there would be one or more documents for you to download (this one shows a couple of years of P&L statements, offering memorandum, rent roll, and condo docs/by-laws).Hope that helps!
