What you don't want to do is tell someone the house is theirs and then tell everybody else its rented.

I bought a house in Dallas for short-term rental.

@Sandeep Shukla how much time do you have to manage AND learn:1) Fair Housing laws2) Fair Credit Reporting Act3) Consumer Privacy Protection laws4) Local rental ordinances5) State eviction laws and procedures6) Etc...Everyone thinks property management is easy until something goes wrong...

I could not have normally afforded to buy in this neighborhood without purchasing a distressed property.My plan was to house hack one room for a year.

Understood - so say I sell house in Sep-24; then I can adjust my remaining paychecks to catch up to 110% of 2023 tax to avoid tax penalty or I need to start having higher withholdings now?

I’m buying a house and assuming a VA loan for it from a veteran.

I am correct to understand that renting out rooms in my house doesn't effect my eligibility for the exclusion?

Hi,I have an opportunity on an Off-market deal, but I am not sure how to approach it and am reaching out here to see if I can get any advice.Here are the facts:Owner is retired and recently moved to assisted living and is ready to sell the house.

Other than rent issues, he keeps the house very clean and maintains the property decently. 

Doing so would allow sidelined capital to be more aggressive and help alleviate the consistent housing shortages faced nationwide.Bottom Line: Inflationary fears are moderating, suggesting a more stable economic environment than previously expected.
