They come for funerals and weddings, for conventions, for Cyclovia and El Tour and Dia de los Muertos,” said Johnston, who holds the status of an Airbnb “superhost” — one who has nothing but five-star reviews from customers.Johnston said she strives to include special touches — local history books on the coffee table, piñatas on the patio, cowboy boots on a shelf — to give visitors “a sense of what Tucson is all about.”

I have been selling cars for about a year and half now and I have an average credit score in the mid 700s.

It is better not to get any feedback than getting odd ones;)Trying to buy town home to live in, price wise, between 350k-450k, I have $85k "cash down payment" with excellent credit score. 

Such properties can be profitable, but it takes a special set of skills to manage the situations that will come up and potentially destroy your cash flow and/or the property.The strategy does not so much matter, rather than having a good team in place such as a very involved property manager with experience in class C/D properties.

@Jahbari McLennan check and see if you were credited for partial years taxes from seller.

Conventional loans do not typically require residence.You just need to make sure there is NO pre-payment penalty for paying off the loan early.Also you will need all the repair money and carrying costs available in cash/credit. 

I do not want to take a loan on it due to I will be paying more interest vs equity line of credit.

If your not willing to rip out wooden floors then you may try a strong cleaner with special enzymes for breaking down the smell.
