Since pricing is always based on supply and demand, when you find a house that is priced “ridiculously low” it’s because people don’t actually want to live there.

Today, because of inflation, a $250,000 or $500,000 gains of much more than $250,000 or $500,000 are not uncommon, so many people go over, especially in higher-priced markets.”Take the Tests to See if You Qualify for ExclusionsTo qualify for the exclusions, you must satisfy tests that you’ve lived in your house for at least two of the last five years and have owned it for at least two of the last five years, says Jack McGuff IV, owner of McGuff Financial, based in Pearland, Texas.

If that’s your plan, I would definitely recommend househacking,where you live in one unit and rent out the others.

Hello,My name is Gigi Merritt, I live in the South Bay about 50 miles south of San Francisco, California. 

I live in Humble, a suburb of Houston.

At this point (almost a year after that court date), I'm stuck on serving the summons -- 4 of the 5 defendants have received it, but the 5th lives in Germany.

At the time I bought it, I lived just a few miles away and I didn't want to play any games with trying to call it a "vacation home" in hopes of a lower rate. 

Hello,Say I sold a home and I paid capital gain taxes because I lived in there home more than 1 year.

The concept is to live there while tenants help pay the bills.
