For the first answer, I understand it is a bit vague, but that is intentional as from our perspective as accountants we need to know all the material facts before giving you a "best way to go" 

We have no intention of selling data.

@Scott Kidd hosts Thanks Ray Ill check those out.

My intention is to live in the basement, rent out the remaining bedroom to a long term roommate, and run the upstairs as a full time STR.I'm aware that the City of Littleton has strict short term rental regulations, but they do allow STRs as long as I have a license and I am occupying the property.  

Going forward, I'm going to invest in real estate with a specific purpose and intention, cash flow.
