There are a number of building code requirements in order to create a unit.  

It is a 3 bdm 2 ba but we can only rent the bottom floor for nightly rentals due to narrowness of the stairway (fire code) so we've been debating renting the whole house on a monthly basis instead.

Codes, insurance, etc.

Not a pretty twinplex with the “Home Depot special” rehab already done, but a “handyman special” in a rougher part of town.

P.S A bit off topic but if you decide to house hack check out special mortgage options for doctors.

No worries about changing codes or people sneaking in early/on days they haven't booked.  

They might not code the expenses properly or do not know how to maximize profit and have to constantly rely on a CPA.

"There are honest ways to address special "real" circumstances" Is a quote from that conversation that I think struck me and that's all I'm asking is about in my situation specifically.  

My annual contributions were excluded originally from my taxable income on my Federal return, but taxed on my California return because that state has not aligned its HSA taxation with the Federal tax code (as of 2015).

You... you sit in front of that computer telling your wife to hold on, and get that lase schema.org JSON code perfected on your video file of a killer testimonial ou received.
