I like the way you put that, knowing oneself that makes it all clear.

Thank you for distinguishing between the two though.

@Zach Simpson I think the notion that having a longer term lease to prevent vacancies in the dead of winter is fooling oneself is rather simplistic thinking.

State law doesn't distinguish between tenant belongings of value or not of value in Indiana, it is all just teant belongings. 

Once the sponsoring employer goes away, the plan must be terminated and rolled over to an IRA.Taking passive rental income and creating a separate corporation to provide management services to oneself as mentioned earlier in the thread not only has the time and expense of setting up, maintaining records for and reporting taxes for that separate corporation, but also adds 15.3% in self-employment taxes to any of the income now deemed to be self-employment.While the Solo 401(k) has many nice features, two of the primary advantages such plans have over IRA alternatives are higher contribution limits and the immunity from taxation on UDFI in leveraged real estate transactions. 

It's no longer a distinguishing feature and basically just a prerequisite nowadays.

Is there a way to distinguish one from the other? 

I can't be the only one who thinks there is likely a distinguishable difference in how the law applies to tenants who never left vs. those who agreed to move out by a certain date, 'returned' the keys to the owner, verified that the home had been vacated, then effectively broke back in to the home a few days later using a key they weren't suppose to have anymore in the first place; can I?

It likely does not distinguish between single story and multi-story, for example, or between usage: owner-occupied, rental, mult-family residential, multi-family commercial, etc.
