And doesnt want to have to deal with other people not cleaning up their dog mess, no noise on top of her or bottom of her. 

No real noise or nuisance to neighbors.Because I will spend 8-10 hours at this place DAILY does that count as an owner-occupied loan?

Make sure there are no trouble makers - with other tenants, noise, etc which violate your posted rules.

Noise issues and high apartment turnover are the first things that come to mind.

Also it is near the quite a busy road and you can hear (moderate noise) cars passing by.

   - If you choose STR - be very transparent about any possible noise disruptions, esp with the dogs. 

While these things might or might not bother some tenants, I personally would never consider taking up a lease in a location with the potential noise factor.

To me this is just a lot of noise that can either discourage some or motivate others to act.Circumstances change every day and there are always deals to be made...question is whether or not you are willing to find them. 

For example, I tell new (house hacking) tenants not to leave the kitchen dirty, not to make noise in the evening and that I expect rent on the 1st, no exceptions. 

I use all the real estate websites like Zillow, Redfin, trulia, and realtor.com because they all tell me different pieces of information, for instance realtor.com gives me an idea on neighborhood noise and crime.
