You can rent it out to a friend / colleague and make some money while still having your privacy in your separate unit.

I have a high speed Comcast internet service at home and use (2) Magic Jack phones (VOIP) to keep cost down.It's true that local map links like Google Place, Merchant Circle, Yahoo Local, etc... get you higher on the search links, and you do not have to put a specific location for your privacy in most of them.

The last time I contemplated a crashpad in Houston, I was thinking private rooms throughout the place for the older, more privacy sensitive pilots I knew (along with a much higher rate), but I never got that far.

Hey @Madison Sloan,I'm going to base my suggestion on assuming that you do not want to do the rent by the room option because of privacy/security concerns.1) If you can find a SFH that has a basement with a separate, or easy to separate, entrance you could essentially "block off" the connecting door between the top and bottom levels and either rent out the top or bottom and live in the other (not so unconventional)2) Find an SFH with an ADU or other additional building that you might be able to convert into an apartment for yourself to live in and rent out the main home.

A spouse can also participate in the same plan, there are additional tax benefits compared to an IRA, and there is generally greater privacy.

I would like the property to be out of our names (for privacy) and also have it protected from creditors.

That's the protection as well as the privacy factor.

As long as youre not putting cameras inside there living space you dont have to worry about breaking any privacy laws.

I imagine it is similar to having a rental property with a loft bedroom (less privacy).

I will send you a DM with more specifics.If you are a fan of diving deep into the numbers like I am, here are details of some clients that recently purchased some great single family house hacks that still have the privacy of a duplex.
