.-- There will be some new category of property created between residential and commercial, as @Robin Searle noted.

The fact that you can could create that desire to move.  

You rent it for one year and create a successful STR business that shows a trailing 12 month net income of $75,000.  

I hope you are working with an excellent agent or broker, they can create leverage and opportunity for you while protecting your interest. 

I do outsource my Taxes, but I meant having a Real Estate Tax Accountant or a CPA who I chat with to help create me a long term strategy.

By insurability I'm referring to the problem created for title insurers evaluating what has transpired and whether they will issue a policy on the next transaction.

You may need to leave about $20,000 into the property after refinancing and you may only cash flow about $150 a month, however you can create $40,000 to $50,000 of equity right up front. 

Using equity can be a smart way to expand your portfolio, but it doesn't have to mean over-leveraging or creating unnecessary risk.

I really think that this woman would create accusations or problems with neighbors with a dog. 

I'm sure over time more laws will be created to force the government to give that information in a more timely manner but for now they often obstruct the public by withholding it for a time.
