There is no Mid-Term or a Rent by the Room style loan as of yet. 

Should I notify the current tenants in advance of each showing, or would an open house-style showing be more appropriate?

look at other STR data in the area and do similar style to do your best to recreate similar results 

.* Walnut Hills: Quiet and community-oriented, great for rental stability.Areas to Approach with Caution:* Columbus: Some sections of Hilltop and Linden due to higher crime rates.* Dayton: Certain parts of West Dayton, which face economic challenges.Focusing on due diligence in these neighborhoods can help you identify stable, cash-flowing opportunities.

Quote from @Xin-Ran Jiang: I just attended their orientation seminar today in NYC but didn’t sign up for 3-day train. 

Tan/brown neutral , and yes a little darker to hide stains....and not a Berber loop style, those look nice but are prone to damage...

I would also prepare to sell it on the used marketplace but if you absolutely don’t want to go that route then I would recommend getting it included in the purchase upfront (but still use it as a bargaining chip first).3) marketing: the best target audience is going to be a savvy house-hacker for a property this style.  

Since it’s such a quiet and family oriented neighborhood, I would like to be mindful of the quality of residents that live here.

@Chris Pomerleau thanks buddy, if only I could get my fashion style as synced up as you I would be unstoppable!

Its also classic and never goes out of style.
