As long as you follow the two-year holding rule and structure the deal properly, you should be able to move forward, but I’d highly recommend working with a tax pro to ensure compliance.Disclaimer: I’m a licensed real estate broker associate in Florida, not a CPA or tax attorney.

Things move very quickly.2.

There's no problems living next to your tenants, just tell them your the manager NOT the owner to avoid guilt tripping.You have to analyze the deal 1) while you're living there 2) when you move out.

For instance:If your area has many corporate offices or conference centers, you're likely to attract business travelers.Family-friendly suburbs with parks and schools often attract families.Downtown locations near nightlife are popular for groups and parties.Review Competitor ListingsSearch for successful Airbnb listings in your area and study their target audience based on:The language in their descriptions.Their reviews (guests often reveal the purpose of their stay).The amenities they offer (e.g., desks and Wi-Fi for professionals, cribs and baby gates for families).Evaluate Your Own SpaceYour property’s layout, amenities, and location may naturally cater to a specific audience.A cozy 1-bedroom apartment downtown might be ideal for professionals or couples.A 3-bedroom house with a yard might appeal more to families.Proximity to nightlife might cater to party groups.Experiment and AdjustIf you're unsure, start broad and monitor who books your property.

You may want to move on it sooner rather than later.

@Alejandro Martinez I'm a fellow Canadian from just down the QEW from you (Hamilton) and moved to Orlando just over 5 years ago to invest in real estate full-time. 

My wife wants to move to a better neighborhood with good school districts and I'm for it.

I have not moved my address on my license. 

On average, 80 people move into Columbus weekly.

I'd love to start my networking and also understand the tax complications of buying property while abroad.also FYI - my husband and I are looking to move to the USA at one point but most likely in 2026.
