Then tell them you are going to have to get a mortgage and it's going to take a while, see if they will rent you the house.

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

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

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 currently in my market (Montgomery, AL) staying in a house that I purchased by cold calling an ABSENTEE OWNER list.

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