Lastly, they give me the right to show the property during that final 30 day period, as long as I give them a 24 hour notice.

My wife just quit her w-2 last year which is 15 years in the business.

Lastly in my experience most CPA's unless they themselves are RE investors wont give you the best guidance on RE.

You need to know the NOI so ask the seller for the income and expenses for the last few years.

I only go to sale on about 40% of my foreclosures over the last several quarters. 

I just checked the forms the city had me sign for my plans, it just says "certain restrictions" apply if I had had a tenant in the last 3 years.

The rental market has been great for me....I only have turnover every 3-5 years, and last one was 1.5 years ago and I got a ton of inquires, and the rent has continued to rise quickly.

Is it as simple as just living in it for 2 of the last five years?

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

If it were me it would have been taken care of last time.
