Hi @Jon Pflueger to answer your questions requires more information. 

Gas heat would require constant tank refilling and it would be very bad to run out in the winter.

You are required to vacate the home before 5:00 PM on December 31, 2024.

Class A: around $250k each = $7.5 millionClass B: around $175k each = $5.25 millionClass C: around $125k each = $3.75 million- maintenance & tenant-nonperformance will require more unitsClass D: unlikely to work outSo, how are you going to turn $500k into at least $3.75M?

And I believe they require 30-40% down. 

The percentages are going to be up to you There are all kinds of High interest account that require all kinds of hoops to keep them.

I have been able to find a couple of options for this setup though, they just require separate leases for each room and sometimes 2-3 months of rental receipts as well. 

I did not know of this time log requirement for STRs, so as a newbie I am going back through emails, texts, phone logs, invoices, etc. to determine how much time I spent on everything.  

I can keep going, but that will all depend on each answer.Let us jump to your comment about your spreadsheet calculator, as I mentioned market could be completely different depending on where you live in, fo this you have to look at what you want to focus on "appreciation" or "cash-flow", there is a balance between them when one increase the other drecrease, and that will always depend on the market, neighborhood and cities where you are planning to invest.Finishing with your comment about wholesaling, please don't look at it until you fully move-in, wholesaling is another beast that is managed different and requires a lot of partnership, relationship and local knowledge.Let me know if I can be helpful in anything else. 

Low cash flow requires larger reserves.
