What a nightmare:1) Lack of transparency and inconsistencies in their internal policies so it is difficult to get proper help from their "Success" team when they give conflicting information.2) We are listed as a quiet retreat space as an alternative the raucous downtown Nashville scene.

There is tons of ethics Conflicts in this business surrounding repairs.

    - The reason why listing brokers would not inform their investors and buyers of current offers and bid amounts is b/c it would most likely be a violation of their state or state board's fair practice laws & would constitute an extreme conflict of interest and possible breach of listing contract, if a listing broker tried to corner deals and not provide equal competition for all bidders.

That has certainly been a major conflict and heavy on my mind.

No wonder you were getting conflicting answers.

I have talked to several accountants and lawyers, and have received conflicting information.

On the other hand, renting out the entire home can simplify the management process and reduce the potential for conflicts between tenants sharing common spaces. 

The zoning record says it is in an unincorporated tax district. 2) A home in Kennesaw that is also zoned for single family.I see online that there is conflicting info, where in DeKalb county, 3 unrelated people can live together, but Decatur shows 2 unrelated people.

I just feel I don't have a lot of options so I'm really conflicted on what to do.  

This will always result in conflict and uncertainty, because were measuring apples too hand-grenades.
