@Jerad GrahamHouse hacking properties should have features like a quadplex with 3-4 bedrooms, flexible layouts, private entrances, and amenities.

So my 5 bedroom new construction on top of the mountain with phenomenal views is lumped in with a 30 yr old 5 bedroom 1/4 mile away in the valley surrounded by trees.  

If that is not possible I am hoping to build the maximum number of bedrooms for the minimum square footage of 1800. 

Frame and finish a L shaped wall in the current recreation room wall approx 7' long x ~18" deep.B.Remove door to "office" and open wall to frame out closet, or just close off.C.Remove wall separating bedroom and office (wall is ~7.9 long)D, F, G Close off 3 interior doorsE.

Now have water installed, w/ 6-bedroom (4-bedroom house and 2-bedroom ADU) septic approval.

I now have 727 leads in this search, this is what I did: - 4 counties - Absentee Owned - min. 3 bedrooms - SFR- 50% to 100% equity - $50,000 to $100,000 Last sale price - Exclude Trustees and Corporate - Mailing address complete Did I miss anything??

You have a 4-5 bedroom?

Plus, I will have some time to get ready to convert some extra space into another full up bedroom. 

Bonus: Find homes that can be easily divided into 2 units (e.g. main house upstairs with separate downstairs area including bedroom, bathoom, wet bar and separate entrance).

. $3K per bedroom, $1700 for kitchen/dining utensils, $300 per bathroom, and another $1000 for miscellaneous (smart lock, modem/router, cameras, board games etc).
