This would allow you to defer the taxes on the sale whether you treat it as your personal residence or an investment property.

If you are trying to wholesale it, don't. 95% chance you'll just end up keeping their home off the market fit 60-90 days, so they can't sell to a real buyer, then the deals falls apart because you find a buyer, your double close doesn't work (no assignments allowed), etc, etc.

Next use the 70% rule to determine your allowable cost basis

I believe the HUD guidelines are two per bedroom plus one, so for your apartment it would be a total of five allowed to live in it.

I've recently bought a property specifically to rent out full time and it got me thinking about how a STR business can expand.It seems like the main avenues are:1. work with landlords to rent out properties and simply pay them rent2. co host and manage other people's listings3. buy properties and run yourselfeach has their pros and cons, though #1 seems the most approachable, though would take a good amount of work to find landlords open to allowing it.What have been ways that you've scaled your business beyond just 1 property?
