Interested in a new build building with 5 units originally advertised as a multifamily. After talking to the office, they said these are individual units but that their commercial loan officer can do 1 mortgage that includes all 5 units. Will this have the same tax benefits/consequences as if this was one single address with 5 units? 

Thanks in advance.

I want to put my primary residence up for rent in Boulder County. I will be moving out and I'm trying to decide whether to sell, short term rent or long term rent. 

1) If sell, I have enough equity in the house to potentially cash out and invest it elsewhere 300K. 

2) If ST, what do you make of the regulations (as of Dec 3 2021) update in Boulder County? Does this disqualify me? Is this becoming too much of a hostile environment for investors where it is not worth pursuing?

3) If LT, I can rent for twice my monthly mortgage. Should I try to capture the appreciation for the next couple of years? I would keep LT renting if a) the house price is appreciating, b) if I can continue to rent without major vacancy or problems. Otherwise I might sell in 3 years.

Any help is appreciated in advance.
