@Rusty DukeThe two year clock starts when you live and own the property.You look back on the most recent 5 years to determine section 121 exclusion.If you move out of the property once the property is signed, you would no longer count those days.If you move out much earlier than when the property is signed, you use that date.

these two apps work for my 2 bldg 20 unit "empire"! 

Asides from paying the difference on close date, what strategies can we do to not let this deal fall through?  

The limitation is that if I want the exemption, I have to agree not to rent out the place for 12 months after the date of completion.The only loophole is that if the construction cost is going to be less than 30k, no licensed is needed so no need to apply for the exemption hence no 12 months limitations.

Sidewalks should have no weeds or grass growing in any cracks.HOUSEKEEPING INSPECTIONSWhen the Landlord or agent visits the unit or conducts a maintenance inspection, the Landlord will schedule a follow-up housekeeping inspection if there are concerns that these minimum standards are not being met.Landlord will advise Tenant of the specific correction(s) required to establish compliance, and also advise the date that the dwelling will be re-inspected for corrections.

Current lease term (expiration date, month-to-month)7.

Looking for any input on financial institutions supportive and competitive with cash out refi's, banks/financial institutions easy to do business with on bank account side, business credit cards that provide the best "perks", financial institutions that provide lines of credit for a property management company and best app / software to help track and organize revenue / expenses. 

We always do 1 year from the date of move-in and then rolls into month to month. 

I set a date for them to pay their dog deposit by, and it's about to be due, but they haven't paid it. 

there’s something I learned about many years ago called “habit stacking”It’s where you find something you already do every day (for this example it’s scrolling thru social while I take my morning shi…uhmmm…while I get ready in the morning), and add the new habit you’re trying to reinforce to the end of what you already do.So I just used Apple’s Shortcut app to create a BP Forum app on my homescreen and put it in my “Social” folder on my home screen.My goal is to post or reply to something every morning!
