I've discussed a theory with my wife that perhaps Zillow "devalues" properties that they know are rentals since they've been listed on their site as such.

I am worried about this devaluing my homes value.

I think it devalues the property slightly.

There are too many situations and occurrences in life to devalue the service you can provide to help individuals. 

Which devalued the Property, also rented to family so Subsidized rent on occasion, a lot of times under Mortgage rate so actual Loss in Money.

- Using 25% down payment, I can grab a few quarter million SFRs to put tenants in and hedge against dollar devaluation while benefiting from tax shield etc...* Commercial ?

Our money is taken, our money is devalued on purpose, our money is wasted, our money is spent in advance before it is even collected.

That being said larger multi family deals operated professionally have one of the best risk adjust returns of any asset class.If you put your money in a bank you absolutely will loose purchasing power via devaluation of the dollar.
