And even if you fail any of those tests, you could still qualify for a partial exclusion of the gain if under certain circumstances (i.e. health related event, certain unforseeable events, or a work-related move)In short, The exclusion is available once every two years and there is no limit to the number of times you can take it.

Hey BP.I have a dilemma, my partner and I are looking into investing in Texas.

This tenant is often late or makes partial with rent payments, also makes excuses because of their health issues or kid.

My dilemma is if I should rent or sell my first home.

I worked with them last year and the way they rolled out properties to potential investors was a huge selling point to me, as it was not just through a weekly email (nothing wrong with that, I just work in health care so can't respond that quickly, especially in this market with such high demand)I agree with others as well-just because it's turn key doesn't mean its set it and forget it.

I require all Tenants to provide me with an emergency contact in case of issues with their health or incarceration.

If they want to break a lease over mold, they have to show evidence that its my fault, and that these mold spores are endangering their health.

As far as your dilemma goes that is a tough question to answer. 

Hello All, I find myself in a nightmare of a dilemma, I have a section tenant who I didn't evict when I had the opportunity for breaking my no pets allowed rules. 

At this point I am having some trouble narrowing it down to 1-2 cities (which I plan to visit to make my final choice), as cities that seem to have more economic health also seem to be slightly (but maybe not) out of my price range.
