I mean has anyone proven that something was not disclosed or done against SEC rules ? 

And guess what, is that person going to do EVERYTHING they can to throw you under the bus and roll back and fourth over your corpse, HECK-YEAH they will!   

@Brett JurgensThe "2 out of the last 5-year rule" in real estate allows homeowners to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) of capital gains from the sale of their primary residence if they lived in the home for at least two out of the five years before the sale.

Furnished Finder does make it tricky since you need separate profiles for each room, but platforms like Apartments.com or Airbnb might work better if you're aiming for full-house rentals or structured by-the-room arrangements.If you decide to rent to multiple individuals:Tenant Screening: Screen each tenant thoroughly to ensure they’re reliable and responsible.Clear Communication: Introduce potential tenants to one another Detailed Agreements: Use separate leases for each tenant and specify shared vs. private spaces, utilities, and maintenance responsibilities.House Rules: Create clear, written house rules to prevent misunderstandings.Inventory Tracking: Document everything in the home (furniture, appliances, etc.) to avoid disputes about damage or missing items.Also, market your property with its flexibility in mind—like proximity to hospitals for traveling nurses or universities for graduate students.

I generally rule out most single family homes as viable rentals, as prices are pretty high relative to rents, so aside from some downtown neighborhoods, typically you do not find large areas of single family rental neighborhoods (a median sale price on a 3 bed, 2 bath home so far this year in Dane County on MLS sales data is at $430k). 

It still is very possible to find properties that meet the 1% rule without much difficulty; but it’s also tougher now to find a mortgage for anything valued under $100k – regardless of condition or P&L.To me, the shenanigans Code Enforcement continues to play on a new owner after a sale plus the recent increase on the annual rental registration fee really discourages buying more in the City.

I am not sure of the STR rules for that, but I know SLC has not rounded the Western states curve yet and caught up to Oregon, Cali, and Washington. 

A famous quote: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is commonly known as The Golden Rule.

i think selling to other investors would solve some of this, as i believe the same rules do not apply to rentals as to primary residences. 

A more typical rule of thumb is to budget 10%–15% of gross rental income for maintenance and repairs over the long term, depending on the property’s age, class, and location.
