Who's name is on the mortgage.If you pay cash, where did the cash come from....who's account, who's income.Some people think these deals are anonymous....maybe they are...I've never heard of anyone getting busted...but people do watch...you never know who else is bidding....losers can get pissed off, figure it out and turn you in.To me it's not worth rolling the dice on....you're probably not getting much of a discount and you're trying to skirt the rules...you're messing with the federal government.... every now and then someone comes along and wants to prove a point, some new assistant prosecutor....maybe they are the ones that lost the deal or another similar deal....and then think....hmmm....I could solve this problem of non-owner occupants bidding during the exclusive period.....it would cost you way way way more money in legal fees defending prosecution or paying fines than to me trying to save a few bucks on rent money would be worth.  

Every property on our site is an exclusive listing of Roofstock and every property has gone through our Certification Process.

Do you continue to get some work tasks taken care of or do you exclusively take time for you and your family? 

RC is the cost to rebuild with the same kind & quality (subject to exclusions, policy terms, and the Limit). 

Question is ...Is it ethical to ask a third party contractor to go with me on the initial viewing of the property KNOWING that some of the full time investors have their own construction crews they exclusively do business?  

I deal almost exclusively with Manufactured homes.  

You can still rent out the part of the house, and still qualify for full exclusion if the rental is not a multifamily house.  

As I scour for rent ads on craigslist and newspapers, many homes are listed by PM companies.

I wanted a share a newspaper article about one of our Bigger Pockets members, @Sarah LarbiShe's been buying up single family homes outside of Toronto for several years, and is absolutely crushing it.This same article looks like it was published in several Ontario newspapers, so congrats!

We are in contract to sell our apt, but we will still be shy of the 2 years for capital gain exclusions.
