Once I proved I could do what I said I could.... they started saying yes to pretty much any loan I ask for. 

My town is hard to research in that the is pretty much never a home for rent.

The section 121 exclusion thing is pretty powerful if you can force appreciation on a property while you're living in it.

Unless you are pretty well connected as I am you aren't likely to get it.

There is a standard form so it's pretty straightforward.  

While it has an attached garage and small shared driveway with the townhouse next door, i'm pretty sure the next door neighbor will not take well to a dumpster parked by his/her car.Any insights on what i should do with the reno trash?

It's not a bad job, it pays the bills and provides pretty good healthcare insurance but it's not my passion.

I am a pretty active landlord and probably have higher expenses than some landlords as it has been my policy to take care of my properties to get good tenants. 

@Robert Herrera that pretty awesome man!

He’s been living down the street with a neighbor for over a year due to some health issues with mobility.
