IN my church we wear a lot of shiny suits and big hats so I *definitely* don't go in that but my hubs wears a regular business suit/sportcoat so that would be fine for him. 

Inspect regularly to protect your investment.

What this means is that the only expenses that you include in "operating expenses" are those that occur regularly, like taxes, insurance, utilities, non-CapEx repairs and maintenance.  

The problem is that nothing I do on the side is really able to be verified like a regular job because it's typically cash.

I would like to sell this property but not go through the regular realtor which will take 6% of the sale.

Laminate the new rubber laminate, awesome stuff , regular hardwood.

I'm a regular Jose, in my thirties, latino, blue collar artist and would-be entrepreneur.

Should I not worry about it and treat it like a regular SFR?

One other comment, we do not regularly get a survey done for the type of property we have bought since filed managers do on-site inspections prior to closing (similar to what you do) and save for one time there was little evidence of easement encroachment, etc., that would raise a flag for our use of the acquisition as long term rentals.

I regularly advertise myself as a private lender and turn down lots more people that I qualify (really qualifying the deal rather than the borrower).
