@Victor Nguyen for starting out either is fine if the numbers work, but if you do a duplex I would recommend starting with the a side-by-side duplex the first time you do one rather than a multi-floor building.The reason being is that managing multis (duplexes) with tenants living over each other come with different problems such as noise complaints, and can limit your options accepting pets.

There is a prairie dog colony that is known to carry the plague (yes, bubonic plague, aka: the black death) near Flagstaff (https://arizonadailyindependen..., https://www.usnews.com/news/be...) battling the spread has been an issue for years. 

There is a 10 year waiting list to get a voucher, so in my experience the tenant isn't likely to muck it up with unauthorized pets, guests, etcYou can eliminate 3x rent since the applicant will have a voucher.  

One of my biggest pet peeves with AirBnB and VRBO is having to click through dozens of ads to try to figure out what they are actually charging.I shouldn't need a spreadsheet to try to figure out the prices.

Believe it or not, everyone and their dog are wanting to invest in Toledo and it’s even beyond my belief how much appreciation has occurred over the last 3 years.

I find my self telling every one I speak to friends, family, strangers, cats, dogs, ground hogs... that I'm very interested in REI and if they know anyone that mite be in a place, that mite not be an ideal dwelling I can help them with an easy way out. so I figure its about time to make it more official by giving them a tangible way to remember me by.   

I mean you cant release properties and leave the dogs. thats what banks worry about.In your case you will have to see if they will negotiate a new release number for you.. this usually requires an apprasial etc. 

The house is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom with 1200 sqft of space, fully furnished, and it allows dogs.

Its not even being the tail of a dog, its more like being a flea on the tail of the dog. 

BP should definitely create a therapy group because I equally fall into that trap with some of our Chicago renovations...I went to a property to do a quick walkthrough check and then somehow I end up with a broom in my hand cleaning because messy job sites are my pet peeve.
