For rentals, would a single floor or two floors makes sense? 

If you plan to live there in the winters, you might have a hard time doing long term rental outside of that and finding a new tenant every summer.

Yeah the law changed I believe back in 2020.You cannot do short term rental with an HPR unless you own both sides.   

.: Quote from @Krista Lance: Hi all - I have a new-modern day question regarding this: What about if I want to manage a "medium-term" rental (i.e. 30 days or more).

@Kmsuea Abdei signing an Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement is common, but it can limit you to working with just one agent.

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.

Im really interested in buying some cashflowing rentals in Ohio, Indiana, Arkansas, maybe the Carolinas.

From what you wrote it sounds like the rental you own is your sole, pre-marital property.

I agree that pricing a rental too high is a classic mistake than can make it sit, but don't you think encouraging landlords to rent quick will make them compromise on the vetting of the tenants?
