But then you miss out on the capital gain exclusion after 5 years.  

@Mark Byrge, you’re one of my favorite people today!

Last year code enforcement showed up and was "just checking on things" since they had prior history with this house & the people on the property.

People call them mid term rentals, but they are a long term rental with a short stay lease.You will do all the furnishings etc that you would do a STR but people stay longer.

Not local to the Cincinnati area, but I've done a good amount of work for people there!

People will mention you can make it a rental for a short period and then still sell but… Why do that?

I have done some research but curious about the experience people here have had. 1.

Just because other people do it or have done it doesn't mean it the right path for you.

You will not get a lot of responses on here for several reasons - too many questions, not a big enough pool of people to answer the questions, and most agents have no clue about what it takes to work with investors. 

This is the least likely thing for people to publish on BP, as finding them is key to the business and promoting them on here will inundate them with calls.
