Thanks sdrealtor. I’d forgotten about the 2 year rule. It also reminds me that I should make some attempt to get my home improvement receipts together. As I recall, beyond the 500K cap you can avoid taxes by offsetting profit on house with money you put into it. Unfortunately, I’m not great at keeping receipts, especially for all the small stuff that ads up! And if current prices hold or increase, I’ll definitely be above 500K.
Feel free to post or PM me “good local property manager”!
