I made my first offer on a house I can barely afford as a primary resident (3bd, 1.5ba close to Tufts University), I am glad the owners went with another offer, I would of paid close to 2.5k a month in "rent" for a single room assuming I rented out the other rooms at a near optimal price.

-Would you buy 1 single family home ? 

Hello, I've recently rented out one of my properties to a single family.

My partners and I have 75 units in Birmingham and several single family properties in the Huntsville MSA.

But I would think that either a family would take the apartment (husband wife and two children) or college students and single professionals willing to roommate with each other.

You depreciate up to your basis regardless of your entity type.If you are a single member LLC, then literally nothing changes on your tax return. 

Every single time a person posts about an Airbnb or short term rental, you have to put some ignorant remark.

@Meng Long I would recommend buying a single family home that needs some cosmetic work to live in as your primary residence, using your VA loan. 

I am looking to buy a single family home under 100K, in Covington KY to use as a rental. i am familiar with Covington and surrounding area, but I would love to hear from other investors. 

(not so important but if they only require 15% down on a single family home that is usually a good sign that you are working with a flexible lender) Can I change title to my LLC?
