This ordinance is significant for its comprehensive approach to addressing source-of-income discrimination, particularly in the context of housing and rental opportunities.Key aspects of this ordinance include:The creation of a $1 million Landlord Risk Mitigation Program to financially assist landlords who accept tenants with vouchers, such as Section 8.Establishment of a landlord liaison position within the City’s Housing Department to facilitate communication and support.Landlords are allowed to deny rental applications based on individualized assessments, such as criminal convictions, credit scores, and eviction history, but the ordinance also sets clear guidelines for what can and cannot be considered.It includes a delayed effective date, allowing time for landlords and tenants to adjust to the new regulations.The ordinance also specifies that certain properties, particularly older houses that cannot easily comply with current codes, are exempt from some of the source-of-income requirements.The guidelines provided by Kansas City's Ordinance 231019, detailing what can and cannot be considered in rental applications, include several notable points aimed at balancing the rights and concerns of both tenants and landlords:Individualized Assessment Allowed:Landlords can deny rental applications based on specific, individualized factors, including criminal convictions, credit score, eviction history, alleged damages, and rent-to-income ratio.

No matter where you choose to move, you are perfectly set up (if the money works) to house hack with your wife in one unit of a two-family and then to mid-term rent the other unit because of your medical connections.

We also beautified the exterior, fixed the roof, have now rented the bottom unit to a medium term tenant as Albany Medical Center is a 5 minute walk away.

@Kenneth Tiedemann you can use personal account, just be sure to follow your state and local laws about security deposits.If you're parents are living in the home with the tenants, then they are also exempt from most Fair Housing requirements, but you should look into them anyways.You'll want a good lease to protect your parents and to be able to evict if/when necessary.Check their home insurance policy as it probably needs at least a rider to cover renting.

In Louisiana, this process is typically much more lax and I know several people who have succeeded in having homestead exemptions on several properties at once (no idea whether it's legal). 

I am located in the Charlotte area and would agree about the presence of our financial sector but also medical is a huge industry as well.If your outlook is 10 years then going with either option will prove fruitful.

But because they are domestic they are exempt from FIRPTA and can do regular 1031 exchanges.Just something to add to your decision tree

Someone is making medical decisions for them, so they should have the legal control over their finances to make sure bills are being paid.

(If you live in the property so that you can claim the Homestead Exemption, your property appraisal can "only" go up a max of 10% per year.
