@Jay HinrichsMost of the new MF construction in the Burgh these last few years has been out-of-state money chasing the elusive tech-educated Millennial who's gainfully employed but too stupid to buy a house.

I'm considering legal action myself once I get a spare moment, this is absolutely ridiculous.

Also a lot of time spent trying to thing of other passive income streams along with jobs that I can do from my computer at work, which have evaded me thus far.The question I have for you all is a list of the pros & cons of gaining my real estate license to use on a part-time basis.My job is flexible in that I can leave the office to make appointments nearly any time of the day and am able to answer phone calls.

Stop paying down your mortgages, it's is gaining nothing. 

If I want to take advantage of the capital gains tax exemption (must live there 2 out of the last 5 years), must I sell it by July 2018, or will I have until the end of 2018 to sell it?

If you sell the house there are RE agent commissions and probably capital gains, closing costs and the time it takes.

The current Owner probably has no legal status to make a verbal promise to the tenants without your knowledge of it beforehand. 

@Assaf Kehati As with any investment, the gain/loss in asset value is only on paper unless you sell it.

My name is Lukas and I’ve lived in Front Royal almost all my life, I just recently moved to Strasburg, Virginia, and recently have gained a major interest in real estate.
