Personally, I'd go with 2 bedrooms, but post the ability to lock 1 bedroom at a reduced rent for 1 bedroom rental.

For example, Denver allows STR w/ license if it's your full-time residence but if you plan to move out the STR ability disappears, has to be your full time residence (last time I checked). 

So here are some facts;We own two stilt houses (4bed/4 bath) in ocean lakes.wr average between 135-160k in the two combined.The amenities are ALL allowed to be used by any guest(s) that stays in our homes.Ocean lakes is a resort and campground - it is secure in it's ability to keep its str usage and zoning due to same.you dont own the land.

I'm not worried about tenets ability to pay. 

I think something to look for if you are switching is the ability to integrate with other software.

We are currently using Lodgify PMS to manage our 5 STRs but one big missing feature is the ability to send a SMS to our cleaners on bookings, cancellations and day before checkouts.  

@Luka MilicevicYeah it is increasingly difficult, but I do have an appreciation for the resiliency and ability for our generations to get creative. 

Doing some research in 2-3 states and wondering what are the best areas in your state to look at properties for purchase that would encompass most of these:-Ability to get a few acres (don't need 100, but say 3-5)-Home that can come with land suitable for small hobby farm/homesteading type stuff (couple of horses, maybe small garden, etc.)

Consider elements together with way of life choices, location and marketplace analysis, property condition and protection desires, property control, and legal and regulatory concerns.
