Have you looked into property management options or run numbers factoring in potential vacancies and maintenance?

I haven't seen prices drop too dramatically but I have seen homes in my buy box sitting on the market longer and some lowering prices. 

Have been exploring other options as well.

@Dave Foster   @bill ExeterMy view is without violating any irs rules your best option may be to live in the property 2 years and use the exemption.  

In-person interactions are great for building trust with potential investors.Real Estate Platforms:BiggerPockets: A robust platform for connecting with private lenders and investors.Fund That Flip, PeerStreet, Groundfloor: Online platforms connecting investors with real estate projects.Social Media Groups: Facebook and LinkedIn groups dedicated to real estate investing often have private investors or lenders looking to connect.Personal Network: Often overlooked, but friends, family, and colleagues may know individuals interested in investing.Private Money Brokers: If you're working on wholesaling deals, you may find brokers who have established relationships with private money lenders.Real Estate Agents: Some agents have connections with private investors, especially those focused on investment properties.For your 50% LTV, it's good to approach investors who may be interested in lower-risk, high-equity deals.

I would like to find a way to generate additional income and am exploring options other than having a long-term roommate.

With that being said we tend to see a lot of CA buyers relocate here for the lower cost of living including lower home values, property taxes, insurance, no state income tax, gas prices etc.

While you likely won’t owe taxes due to the loss, filing is still required since the rental property is located in Missouri.Kansas (KS): As a Kansas resident, report the rental loss on your KS state return (KS-40) since Kansas taxes your worldwide income, including out-of-state rental activity.Tax Impact: The rental loss reduces your federal taxable income and may lower your overall state tax liability.

Also integrating them with Podio as well as an option. 

The planning staff should be able to walk you through any options for zoning changes or variances if there's a way to make short-term rentals work in your case.
