Out of five years, you can live for one year, rent for next year, again live for one year and rent for 2 more years.Your primary residence will qualify for $250k ( $500k if Married) gain exclusion if all following requirements are met: You owned a home and used it as your main home during at least 2 of the last 5 years before the date of the sale.You did not claim any exclusion during the last 2 years.You did not acquire the house with Like-Kind exchange during the last five yea 

The move in date is what matters. 

This all occurred about 7 months from the final purchase date.

We are doing research specifically in tenants and investor legislature, but most of the articles we read are out dated.

Also, buyer's were informed by their lender that their loan is about to expire so they would have to be approved once again.Buyer has 3 little girls all in grade school so you can imagine the stress and inconvenience this has caused them. 

The two hit it off and subsequently started dating.

If the move-out date takes an extra week or two, the new owner should be able to weather it. 

I worked with a killer agent who kept my up-to-date on listings he felt met my criteria, as well as gave me feedback on additional listings I was pulling from Zillow and Realtor.com.

For lease break, I typically require on months rent (past move out date) and equivalent of one months rent for leasing fees. 

The seller didn’t get back to anyone by the date she was supposed to so I waited it out and finally 5 days later she came back to me and said she thought she’d take my offer for $20,000 more than list price.
