Soon after purchasing the home, I found the ceilings were made of horse hair plaster.

Here is the situation: I found a good multi-family home in upstate NY.

The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

I’m originally from Texas but now call Colorado home.

Choosing between a single-family home and a duplex is a classic real estate investor dilemma.

She is a teacher and also super busy with her church so she's barely home.

Context matters: for some apartment buildings that compete head to head with a very similar property just down the street, this may be a good strategy.We rent premium single family homes and I have never offered an incentive.
