I recently learned that if you owner occupy a residence for part of the 5 previous years before sale, and you rent it for the remaining time, you can calculate the percentage of time the property was owner-occupied (and thus qualifies for the sec. 121 primary sales tax exemption of up to $250k for single filers) vs the time it was being rented (which qualifies for 1031 exchange) and claim both benefits. https://hcsequity.com/blog/combining-1031-exchange-with-121-....How does this work for a multi-family?

Network and try to find a mentor in these groups or wherever you can to help guide you through this industry as an investor.

This question has come up a few times with prospective clients recently, so I thought I'd shed some light on it.Generally, being an employee in a real estate business does not automatically qualify you for REPS unless you own at least 5% of the employer.

Are you looking to use this strategy continuously or as a 1 off.
