@Alexander Ho My best advice for those wanting to invest in Provo/ Orem is stay away from legal accessory apartments.

The Nassau/Suffolk market is definitely unique in the sense that although there are great SFH options available, multifamily options to househack are not super common - unless you find something with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or at least can pull permits for ADU.

I think @Colleen F. right with the accessory dwelling but I  don't know where to look to verify this. 

#2, have you thought about building an accessory unit (small "granny" house) in the back, living back there, and renting out the main house?

Portland area folks - I'd like to know if any of you have any first hand experience with Accessory Dwelling Units.  

Ballpark is $50k for the addition, and expected rent is $850.My home in SLC is luckily in a zone where accessory dwelling units are allowed.

Worse case scenario you have to rent somewhere short term until you start the job.I would highly recommend looking at a duplex or a single family with an accessory dwelling unit to give you more cashflow and more options down the road too.

Each state is going to be different on what accessory transfer fees there are. 

Knowing that they are planning to cheat the IRS makes you an accessory to the crime.
