Investors & landlords

Yes I read that and it is loosely defined. Not to put personal information on a public forum but I could probably justify the reason why I rented it out the second time. I did talk to a 'tax preparer' at one time and mentioned the adding of the total time that I will have resided in the home as my primary residence. FYI the reason for the initial rental period before taking occupancy was while waiting for my wife's spousal visa which took over a one year. Complicated to say the very least
