@Octavia D. WELL

Some communities up north allow "Accessory Dwellings" on SFR if you want to do some house hacking.  

Have nearly 20 years experience as a landlord multifamily dwelling in NY. 

(B) "Property" means real property located in this state improved by virtue of a dwelling having been erected on the real property.

Quiet enjoyment is upheld in all states, a fundamental right under a lease, restricting tenants can violate these rights of use.Next, residential tenants can be responsible for keeping the grounds in good condition, they can not be responsible for windows or parts of the dwelling, other than from damages.

I'm interested in building investments with more SFH or 2-4 family dwellings.  

Answering those calls is what I keep dwelling on..thinking I'll crack up and sound nervous.

Former suburban dwelling millenials and empty nesters alike are finding the lifestyle in these areas very fun and desirable.Furthermore, the housing policies in these regions necessarily constrain stock (article from The Atlantic), so real estate is traded more like a precious metal than something manufactured. 

Elizabeth Colegrove I tried to do mine with FHA and wasn't able to because my cosigner would have had to occupy the dwelling.

There's a major rezoning coming here, most likely beginning in 2015, that's going to be boosting development density to 260% of the current base permitting, going from 22 dwelling units per acre to 58 and raising height limits from 45' to 75'.
