I have brokers lining up some pre-approvals but wanted to see if anyone has had some local success with conventional financing or some type of rehab based loans. 

They are claiming it was just over a year old when I moved in and are prorating based on a 7 year carpet life.

The requirement for the Section 121 exclusion of capital gains on the sale of a primary residence is indeed based on exact dates, not just the calendar year.

Seems like a passive aggressive way to get owners to up their game and differentiate, similar to the categories.

Late to the game here, but thought I'd chime in to give a different perspective. 

In other words, you'll end up with tons of info and great advice, but none of it is going to do anything for anyone unless that information is applied and executed.I do appreciate the info, the knowledge and material given in the workshop and for free online, I can only imagine the more expensive course will provide even more of that.Good luck with your decision.

I remember someone telling me that if I wanted to get in that game to make all the numbers work on the Section 8 check. 

Hi @Lisa Zoubi, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

Those fees are based on the whole price of the property so selling property with 20% equity can shrink down to 10-15% equity pretty quickly which means you lose between 1/4 and 1/2 of what you made. 

They would require skin in the game (cash) and your analysis on a specific deal before funding 80-90% of the purchase price + construction costs.
