If you push hard you can fill a vacancy weeks sooner than if you do everything yourself and don't advertise until the place is vacant and prepped again. 3.

Depending on the built in gain and how long you've lived there, you should be able to sell your current primary tax-free and roll any gains from that into your new primary residence, that is IRC section 121.Is there a set amount of time before you can move into the rental as your primary?

I recommend working with a professional to help alleviate that stress and get the grant pushed through.

These self employed 2nd mtg's are typically based on alternative method of caluclation like profit and loss statements if you're self employed or the last 12 months of bank statement deposits using a formula to derive an income from these deposits (like 50% of all annual rolling 12 calendar month deposits X 50% /12 months = monthly income).

They make it pretty easy to self manage once things get rolling.

Once it is up and rolling it is pretty easy for a single property.

Not sure in your area but 200K should be enough to get the ball rolling. 

After that, all rental losses are blocked and pushed into future years.
