Thanks @Abel Curiel for the data on multifamily properties and markets.

Or did you run some numbers or have some other set of data you're using to come to the conclusion that Westmoreland County is, in fact, an area conducive to being profitable in house hacking?

Quote from @Rud Sev: Hi Michael,Thank you, I will message my CPA asking for a more detailed explanation.I've been inquisitive with my CPA, but unless I ask question I do not get explanation (and unfortunately not a walk-through), although I've shown interest understanding this further and further.I'll try to reformulate my question more clearer (and with more data) - the problem that I have and will have is figuring out if my questions and confusion are due to a lack of understanding on my part, or my CPA is truly making mistakes.Regarding carry back, thank you for this info.

The only issue w/the keypads is then you may have extra maintenance calls. 

Any ideas on what I could turn it into to help generate some extra profit?

Check out  - https://www.ruidoso-nm.gov/short-term-rentalsThat is all the data to get started on the permit but still check if the neighborhood has an HOA and what the rules are.

In 2021, after completing the BiggerPockets STR course and analyzing market data, we transitioned the property to a fully furnished premium short-term rental after the tenant moved out.

Also, have you made any significant alterations to the property or if it were put on the market today, would it be indistinguishable from a standard 4-bedoom house (are there any extra walls for the SRO, constructed locks/barriers etc.)If its a standard SFR and the leases are very short term - there is a path that you could refinance this with a DSCR as basically a Short Term Rental and then potentially change strategic course back to SRO if needed at a later date

You can not charge anything extra for a service animal.

**Regarding TheGuarantors**: They are a reputable company that provides rental guarantees, offering you extra protection.
