.- The townhouse you're moving into is currently a rental, but you plan to live there two years for the 121 exclusion.

I’d love to hear more about your goals and how you’re planning to apply your expertise to real estate!

I'd like to talk to someone who can help him make a plan before this gets out of control.Does anyone have a lead on how I can find his next in command that would be appropriate to talk to at Malmstrom or is there maybe an office for this sort of thing? 

I myself am in a similar position looking to acquire a secondary home in the Banner Elk and would plan on using as a STR and would love any input on your findings!!

Hey @Megan OConnor, I can't comment on the area specifically but it is doable.You need to search AirBNB and VRBO to get a look at the competition (don't forget to look at VRBO)You have to work into your plans the downturn during the off season.

We plan to scale to 20-30 properties by end of year and was wondering if there's a better platform out there. 

ThanksWhy do you think the city would approve that and how are you planning on getting plumbing in?

The cold truth is no one cares.

Planning on living off of the positive income and then eventually on our investment.

It is currently rented, and we are bullish on the building and plan to keep the unit in our portfolio.
