Lastly, if you want or need it, they also have, "Tamper Resistant Attachment Products," which is a screw with a 5 sided attachment to drive the screw.

A duplex I couldn't resist 13 years ago for $13,500 & sold it 'rent to own' $827/month & all maintenance is their resp.

Mold resistant drywall in the bathroom, always.

I do have boots on the ground in PA, but they can't force people to rent, you just have to lower prices until the deal is so sweet for them rent-wise, that good tenants can't resist.

That was my answer in the discussion but i'm meeting strong resistance.  

I'm not big on shopping, but I couldn't resist when I got in there.

So who fell for the hype and who resisted?

How about path of least resistance - move into the second floor?

In 10 years time that unit (which I converted to a condo) went from $160,000 to $705,000 when I sold it (I couldn't resist the $500,000 tax free gain.)

It sounds to me like you aren't looking to replace your job with real estate investing anytime soon, so this strategy is a good path of least resistance to building a great long term wealth base.I would recommend managing this house yourself, especially if it's right next door.
