I have a rental that I used to live in that I'm planning on selling. I lived in it for the first two of the last 5 years. Then I want to sell the house I'm currently in. I will have lived in the current house for more than 2 years but I might selling it less than 24 months from the sale of the 1st house. Would both still qualify? Separately I know they both qualify but I'm not sure if the rule that you can't have two home sale exclusions within 2 yrs is an exact 24 months and/or is it only a practical rule for people who are buying a house and selling before living in it for two years.
