I wold like to find one duplex or triplex in my location and live in one part of the dwelling.

@Joel OhA taxpayer renting a "dwelling unit", such as a house, apartment, condominium, mobile home, or boat on a short-term basis, from a single room to the entire property, typically reports the rental activity in their individual tax return on Schedule E.

hey guys -- here's one: - I live in a multi unit property (4 units) and would love to make an offer to acquire it from my landlord / owner- I have a single owner S Corp that does well, I pay myself a reasonable W2 salary with, but not likely impressive enough to qualify for the appropriate mortgage necessary- Imagine needing ~$6M for the acquisition -- plan to keep one unit as short term rental, convert one unit to office for S Corp and combine the other two to become my primary dwelling - I can put together ~$2M cash as downpayment -- but could the S Corp be the entity to acquire this property? 

While AIR will allow you to rent out a tent in your driveway, VRBO requires a separate dwelling.

But I wouldn't want to be in the business of trying to rent out bedrooms in a single dwelling. 

With that said, I think the win-win will be to provide repair loans in most cases, and for anyone who doesn't want to live in their dwelling, maybe a sub-to.

In Florida, owners of townhomes and single-family residences are required to have DWELLING and WIND (HURRICANE) coverage, but you don’t have to get them both from the same carrier.

dwelling: $100,000?

These are usually a handy man, or small time contractor job, like a contractor that regularly does turnovers for vacant dwellings and some rehab is needed.Once you get structural, involve utilities, or it's a very big job, you can appreciate why you need to let the GC get the materials themselves. 

For now I doubled my umbrella policy on top of the existing liability coverage for each rental dwelling for each property.
