For non-primary residences, they have to follow all of the following rules to receive a permit: - the property must be a minimum of one (1) acre in size (designed as a precaution to disturbances)- The building standards of the underlying zone district must be met - Adequate parking is provided - Defensible Space requirements are met - Valid water and sanitation must be demonstrated - No more than five (5) bedrooms are in the dwelling As time goes on, they continue to become more strict on the rules listed above here, and are actively regulating it.

I used to manage a few MH communities in Michigan and oversaw transferring of titles when our residents sold their homes. 

This way we know its a good chance they should qualify before wasting any of our time showing units. 

My primary residence is debt free as is my rental property-- the thought is the rental will supplement the retirement income and I'm not chasing ROI/ COCr / vacancies / etc.Thanks for the welcome! 

I've been house hacking my place (I rent out a 3-bed 2-bath residence and live in a small in-law unit in the back) for just about 3 years and have been setting aside money each month for my reserve fund.

There are no memberships, no mortgages (for you to qualify for) and once you invest; your work is done.

I'm finding out that if I make the property my primary residence for 1 yr and then turn it into a rental.

Quote from @Robert Cucino: Quote from @Tanner Lewis: Those look like pretty solid returns on the surface level, if you decide to go with DSCR, you can qualify the deal with AirDNA projected income even if it is rural. yeah i talked to dcsr lender in area, they do 80 LTV.

Some of the simpler asset protection solutions would include the following:  having max funds allowed in qualified retirement plan or IRA rather than personal as retirement plans are exempt assets in Federal and most state bankruptcies; investing through an annuity if your state (Florida and Texas for example) exempts insurance policies and defines annuities as an insurance policy; taking advantage of maximum homestead exemption in your state; use of corporations or more popular LLC or Series LLC to limit liability to the entity holding the asset; reasonable liability insurance if available; separating asset ownership from asset management; etc.I can design a simple, cost effective asset protection strategy of up to about $5million with little cost IF the individual resides in Texas or Florida.
