I've read through everything everyone has said, as well as carefully reading through the sales agreement and the final closing papers (that I did not sign but requested from the title agency)...

I would be careful not being honest with these companies as it can be huge penalties etc. if you are not using the information in a fashion they say you are going to be using it for. 

However, please be careful if you go this route!

Is that so cut to 50% as it is a house hack?

You can do your business your way which has predominantly been telling everyone (through a lot of good posts, but also a lot of cut and paste posts) to do it the way you do it, which does work for some, but also does not work for many others because they don't put the work in.The reason I have always thought you were selling is because you always are.

Cutting corners to save time might seem like a good idea, but it can lead to expensive repairs later on.

Just be sure to carefully consider the financing costs and make sure your STR income can comfortably cover them.

I assure you, taking care of our community is a priority, and we make it a point to respond to everyone.

Research your local laws carefully and see which valid reason works the best to not renew her lease. 

I love your commitment to transparency and taking care of your tenants.
