Currently the other unit is empty and wasn't sure how to handle the taxes regarding this, so I am looking for refences of an accountant in the Phoenix Metro who does house hack taxes.If you have any other pieces of advice or wisdom for landlord and tenant rights it would be greatly appreciated. 

@Grant Shipman Great stuff, I'm a big fan of co-living/rent by room strategy, and I do it here locally in Denver metro, and it is the best strategy in today's market for any house hacker to live for free or make money while living there, but they have to sacrifice personal space.

I can help you if your interested in the Atlanta, Metro area.  

Moreover, is Gainesville your primary investment market, or are you open to other metro Atlanta markets? 

Hi Daniel, Columbus GA has properties much lower in price than the metro Atlanta area, you should do fine to learn your local market.

👀Broken down by Denver metro cities, see which month YOUR city had the highest median home price in 2024....✅ Denver - April - $610,200✅ Westminster - April - $570,000✅ Arvada - June - $655,000✅ Thornton - June - $560,000✅ Lakewood - June - $605,000✅ Englewood - July - $600,000✅ Morrison - June - $968,000✅ Conifer - January - $872,500✅ Evergreen - April - $1,200,000✅ Golden - May - $1,025,000✅ Littleton - April - $680,500✅ Parker - July - $715,000Certainly these months/time frames can change in 2025 depending on mortgage rates, inventory in your city, etc.But, if all remained constant, this gives you a ballpark idea of time of year to net the most money

I would suspect that the opposite is true, but it's certainly less expensive to get into than a metro market like Chicago. 

All of the major metros in Texas are taking STRs seriously now.

Sacramento metro by contrast is more friendly, and there are some areas we target here that do very well for STR.

It is mostly investors in and around the atlanta metro doing everything from Short TErm Rentals to househacks to longterm rentals to fix and flip.
