The 2 of 5 rule would be met, but my question is whether IRS considers the sale of vacant land (that I'd no longer be living on) 'part of' a home/residence sale, or would just exempt the very small amount I might receive from selling the manufactured home.For what may or may not be a relevant comparison, if I sold the contents, fixtures, etc of my house before I sold the actual house, I'd imagine the contents sale would be taxable, but the sale of land and structure not.

I started this thread assuming we would have to sell our house to use the equity, but given the generous advice on this thread, it's pretty clear that HELOC / HEL might be the way to go, which in turn means we don't need to sell our current home to use the equity, and thus opens us wide to using that equity to fund our investments anywhere, not just bay area (sorry for the long run on sentence).

Before you choose anyone you could ask how their fees are structured (I keep it super simple) and what their response time is (you can see this on AirBnb).

You guys use hardiboard for exterior siding on structure?
