Sellers test you to see if you're going to judge them for their situation.

Your numbers seem pretty accurate, though I think there is some room to go up on the rent for the 4-bedroom.

You're the only one in the transaction who doesn't have a motive to tell you something that may not be accurate.

If you live in your home for two years and then rent it out for two years before selling it, you qualify for the full exclusion amount due to meeting the use test by having lived in the home for two out of the last five years before the sale and meeting the ownership test.2.

Somewhere between 25%-30% total will more accurately reflect reality.

Is there any way to test septic systems? 

@Marisa AlvarezYes a video showing the alarms are installed and the testing of the detectors.  

He's pitched me on keeping the property with their company, in order to test them out (and hopefully bring over my other eight).Offered a lower percentage than what I currently pay and also offered to kick in a few "free" months where I don't pay any percentage on it.Has anyone else, owning multiple properties, tested out a new property management company in this manner?

You could, but that's not an accurate measure of valuation for a host of reason, first being that CAP Rate is a measure of risk for a stabilized asset.

My husband has his license and I just passed all my tests, so I will be as well.
