.- Depending on your budget, do you want a small condo or larger residence?  

Hello, I have a primary residence and about $10k in bad debt (not including car note, student loans and a small medical bill).

If the duplex sells for $500K and you exchange into a duplex in LA for $1 mil then you could use 50% of it as your primary residence.- Do I qualify for for a section 121 exclusion sense I lived on the property for the first 2 years of ownership?

I don’t understand how you can have 13 rentals that are paid off and a primary residence that is paid off and still need more cashflow.

It seemed that just having some kind of communication back to the resident right away was better than them leaving a voicemail.

It's not about being nit-picky—it’s about ensuring the property is safe for residents.

Further, the property may qualify for larger loans based on the increased cash flow ability to service debt.  

And consulting with a local attorney to ensure compliance with state-specific real estate laws, plus making sure you have the necessary permits, is a smart move.As you start, also look into state-specific rules regarding contractors and renovations, especially if you plan to flip in different states from where you reside.

Unfortunately, she will not qualify for energy assistance.
