My preferred options are:1. house-hack with a duplex under ARV; live in one unit => renovate => rent the other unit2. buy a SFH under ARV that could be converted into a duplex (preferably adjacent units vs top/bottom) - I'm assuming the biggest challenge with this strategy would be separating the infrastructure for utilities; and costly.

If you're considering mobile homes, the first step is checking zoning laws and utility access since some areas have restrictions.For resources, Mobile Home University is a well-known starting point, and local mobile home dealers can offer insights on placement and financing.If mobile homes are allowed, you could either rent them yourself for higher returns but more management or rent out the lots for steady cash flow with less work.

You must be able to verify you live somewhere else (utility bill, lease, updated ID etc..) 

What have you been paying for utilities?

Write a book about it, utilize paid internet ads to drive book sales, follow on with YouTube videos, webinars, blog casts, on line tutorials, and sell a few one on one coaching sessions.4.

@Daniel Baker I would say a lot of it is based on their training or their resources that they utilize to complete your taxes.
