A duplex gives you more protection, since there are two tenants, if one moves out than you have the other to help offset the vacancy.

Also AirBNB does not protect owners at all.

Some relevant financials are below...any help from the crowd would be appreciated as if like to explore this and do a 1031 in two years.Current rent - $850 Current property value - $75kishNo current mortgage Located outside Houston and appreciating at around 4% a year If tenant moves I'd do maybe $20k in renovations to update kitchen, floorplan and exterior siding but house is functional

There's a lot more to consider when it's your primary - not just the scheduling, but taking into account the personal items you have there and how to either protect them or keep them out of the way.  

Most financial institutions provide this product and it's usually formed as a commercial loan.

I'm tired of this life and I want my financial freedom and my time for myself.

Some primary areas I'm interested in:-Thoughts on Section 8 multi-family-Investors interested in areas surrounding Mercedes-Benz dome (English Avenue, Vine City...AKA The Bluff)-Target financials-New constructions vs. fix up vs. as-is-Syndications/fundraising/private money/loans/etc.

@Jonathan Depa I'm not sure that short term properties are dealt with any different than long term tradition rental properties, but in 2009 Fannie Mae increased the number of properties that a bank or financial institution can finance to 10. 

@Jamie Lashley I use Rehab Financial out of Pennsylvania.

They want to protect the value of their homes but not allowing the neighborhood to turn into a "rental neighborhood".
