Investors & landlords

I live in an area that is seeing lots of expansion and have seen upwards of $20k in equity a year for the past 6 years. I’d like to at least hold onto the property for another 1-2 years to see if the value keeps going up. I’ll be able to come home as often as I want, I’ll just have to use PTO.

You’re certain that I can’t claim the property as my primary residence? For years, before I bought this house, I claimed a home in Michigan as my primary residence because I was only in SC on military orders. I assumed that I could use the same situation to my benefit, since I’d only be in Italy on military orders.
