Selling before that date would still allow you to claim the exclusion.Just keep in mind that the time it was used as a rental is considered non-qualified use, so you’ll owe tax on the depreciation taken (or that could have been taken) during the rental period.
George Red Tenant gave 30 days, refusing to pay last month rent, saying use security deposit

I ended up connecting with a lawyer who has handled other issues for me and she said basically I waited too late in the month to start the eviction process and to sit tight as it seemed the tenant was actually moving out, but if they weren't out by designated day, circle back to start a formal eviction.What actually happened is that the tenant moved out on the date indicated and left some trash but the unit was generally clean and left in good shape.

Brandon Kunasek Using the BRRRR Method on Oceanfront Condos — Anyone Else Doing This Near the Coast?
10 November 2025 | 10 replies
I work primarily with investors focused on short-term rental–friendly oceanfront properties, and something interesting has been happening here:Many of my clients are applying a modified BRRRR strategy to dated oceanfront condos — essentially:Buy older, underpriced units in established resorts → Renovate to STR-grade finishes → Rent on Airbnb/VRBO → Refinance after 12–18 months based on new income comps → Repeat with equity pull-out capital.Even though condos can be trickier with financing and HOA dynamics, the math has worked surprisingly well when:The HOA allows STR operations.Renovations target higher ADR and occupancy.The appraisal reflects short-term rental income rather than long-term leases.I’ve noticed this approach works best when you treat each condo almost like a “micro–multifamily” — tracking cash flow, management efficiency, and appreciation just like you would for a small apartment deal.Curious — has anyone else here applied the BRRRR method to condos or coastal properties instead of single-family or multifamily units?
