The other couple: the guy had an eviction, both have bad credit: 500  and 400.The last couple said they guys mom had health issues and he quit his job to help her... 

Happy to connect and knowledge share if you are interested.

We bought from them last year in poinciana.

The second property company was ok but at the end of last year they abruptly sent me notice that thethere was going to be a new one starting the following moth.

I could never have done that if there had been padding.Carpets that are glued down last up to 15 years.

Would love to connect with you and hear more about your previous experiences with investing and what you are looking to do in the future!

Instead, just last year, at the age of 38 and with a wife and kid, I househacked a duplex in Hancock Park.

@Katherine Van brocklin I'm happy to try to help you connect to anyone I can think of here in Asheville.

That said, I would strongly advise that you get a lawyer involved, or at a minimum a licensed Realtor (you mention "brokering" the deal, and that you are a SWE for Google, but not that you are a licensed Realtor...if you are then disregard that last part).

If you lived in the property for 2 of the last 5 years then you do not pay capital gains tax when you sell.
