Need to self manage and its really not that hard, I even have out of state clients do it in our class B or better areas.

The section 121 exclusion doesn't apply, periods of non qualified use on rentals.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

For me, it was posted in 5 days including weekends so it actually took 3 working days.  

Any current roadblocks including time-to rehab permits being issued, local landlord laws/trends, property tax to rent YoY trends, etc. 

And I’m 99% sure You will lose your capital gains sales 100% exclusion as you will have unqualified time before your qualified time.

I don't have much to add from the actual loan terms consideration, but I would encourage you to assign each property a value for a partial release and include that in your loan terms with the seller.

@Dana PowellMost lenders will order a 1007 appraisal that includes an analysis of the market rents even if you have signed leases. 

I’m trying to work out a deal including seller financing and refinancing but am little confused on how it work out.
