The older hardboard is still holding up/performing in drier climates when installation was good, eg no nails overdriven and z flashing used where needed, and it was kept caulked and painted, including the seams, window trim and paint on the lower exposed edges and it was installed a distance from the ground.

The tenants have been there much longer than we've lived here and they treat the place like it's their own with seasonal decor, lawn care, and family get togethers.

If you can find a lender that doesn't require at least 1yr seasoning on the property before they will do a cash out let me know. 

I plan to do a lot of the rehab on my BRRRR, so let's say it takes me 6 months to get it rehabbed and rented and 6 months of seasoning period with the tenant living there.

Reid,Typically the bankruptcy type & seasoning is going to play the bigger burden with the seasoning. 

I have rental property, which I want to sell, but ....gain taxes.In my case it is exeptionalyl painfull, because I obtained this propertyas the part of divorce settlement and I am older person now.I already spent a lot of money for professional consultations, it helps but not to the end. ( lack of preperation from my site)I am in the process now to educate myself , as much as I can about 1031 exchange option.I want to be able to ask right questions during next expensive meeting with the lawyer orCPA.What I am looking for over her, for precious help....I am looking for recommendation of the websites which offer help with 1031,and this is their business,they do not require the client to be accredited investorthey provide the listing of properties for saleand what very important, they provide at least closely estimated analysisof the deal. ( price, rent amount, property taxes, other costs etc)After my investigations , I am the most interested in rural California,or Atlanta Georgia, or Charlotte North Carolina.During my searches I found website of type I am looking for, I think it was Atlanta,their listing was very limited, but provided this analyse.but I did not save it ( did not realized how preasure it was) and can not find it again.So please, if someone went through 1031 exchange process, please share the websideswhich helped to find the right property, even better if they manage rentals.My case is so pityful, so the cost to even higher limits is wort it.Thank you very much evaP.S:My expectations, with flexibilityTo have at least 600k from the saletake 120-150 k cash ( pay taxes on this amount)Invest in 2 sigle family housesTo have close to 2k cash flow from the rentpossible ?

Older roof.

Using "lit" light switches is a thing we love to do and the decor style might be more friendly to older people.

Also is anyone in the area able to rent the off season to 1 renter?

The time of the season doesn't matter, yes people are more likely to be looking for homes in spring and fall but somebody (even good tenants) are looking for housing in the winter months!
