Oh, and we have no government data on either of the above since Congress is totally cockeyed and can’t pass a budget.

In Cleveland they have enacted Residents First, which translates into a narrative that out of town landlord are "evil"    They also enforce a Lead Safe Certification Law which requires that all rentals built before 1978, must pass a Lead Risk Inspection every 2 years.   

Typically I see house hacks work with one bathroom per 2 bedrooms or so.If you want to do an added perk, maybe include the train pass as part of the rent.

The property you should focus on is one that needs improvements and upgrades but is still good enough to pass a VA appraisal inspection.

(in my area the soil of each proposed lot has to pass a perc test if the properties will be on septic or be able to connect to the city sewer if not... you'll need both legal access and physical access... the lot will need to be level enough to build on, etc. there is a lot more to look into but those are the big ones). 

YUP Oregon just passed a new law wholesalers need to be licensed get bonded and have insurance .. dont need to pass a test. 

The 20 year certification requires each of your properties to pass the 2 year dust swab tests AND pass a lead x-ray gun test. 

That is a question for an attorney, which they could potentially get in trouble which could be fines from authorities buy my guess is it does not provide you a "get out of trouble pass" as you may have also committed fraud if you executed agreements which were false.
