Hi Geoff,In my opinion, keeping your current home as a rental property could be a smart move.

Keep in mind that the sponsors with the longer track records and deeper bench of investors are unlikely to use some of the newer exemptions. 

Yea they would keep that in place and you'd get a second position mortgage for the rest at, well, higher than todays rates.

Would love to see an example of some real life qualifying activities and what you're including.Please keep in mind that research and education hours do not count by themselves! 

Thank you for keeping everyone updated, Scott.

Add it to your expenses, call it a day, and keep a satisfied tenant.

It also has enough sq. ft. to accommodate the additional unit without having to consider it an efficiency unit.But also agree, we'll just start simple with adding more living space / the duplex down, and keep things flexible for the future.
