I have already thought about the point you mentioned about some prospective tenants not being fond of the fact that both floors aren't available but until I get back to AZ which could be awhile I need it for storage.  

I have heard the name of one of the founders mentioned in the past and they had a good reputation.

Quote from @Dennis Bragg: Hey Josh, thanks for jumping in with such a bold approach.. it’s not every day you see someone your age pushing for a luxury twist on a single family rental.

I'll add on to what the other Ben said and mention that there are exceptions based on the # of days that you rent out your home to where the income/expenses are excludable (being lesser of 14 days or 10% of total usage if under 140 personal use days).

To go a bit further into what Dmitriy mentioned, since your IRA earns the income the tax treatment is specific to your IRA.

Being that rates are up it's another way to offer exatly what you mentioned; the chance to own for a couple hundred bucks more than renting.Thoughts?

You can refinance into a FHA 203k or like @Jason Wray mentioned you could even use a Fannie May homestyle renovation loan as well!  

I am actively looking to connect with investors interested in [mention specific types of investment opportunities,  single-family homes, multi-unit properties, distressed to expand my portfolio and deliver strong returns.

8%-11% is pretty standard here and as someone mentioned it really just depends on how the company is run.

BTW there is a free trial and the Starter monthly plan is $119.It also allows you to search through consumer information such as property owner "credit worthiness," Credit card usage, buying power, age, language, family members in the house, and many other fields that are above and beyond property characteristics, which is unique.
