You didn't test it with enough volume.And this is easy to prove right?

These owners would have been able to meet the two years of ownership and occupancy tests if it were not for unforseen circumstances. 

It is slim pickings with lots of full time investors.

@Jesse Allen 2 years supervisory experience, take the course (60 hours or so), pass the test.

Stress-test your numbers at the lower end of the ARV range just to be safe as the BRRRR refi is probably the most stressful part of the process. 

ON THE OTHER HAND, if you when you get married and you file jointly and if you were the one that materially participated and you are a real estate professional with the 500 hour test (check article below), then you could theoretically take net losses on the real estate against the w2 active income.

You could always do both: rent one as a LTR and one as a STR to test the market.

I wouldn't throw my money at 10 houses without first testing the Provider to see how well they do. 

I guess I just have to test out a few and use new ones and keep rolling until I find the right one in each area.

The only thing i can see as needing to be replaced soon is a 14-15 year old boiler that im sure will be nearing the end of its lifespan sooner, rather than later (although functioning well during some testing at the time of inspection).
