It seems most of the so-called programs are ... cookie cutter methods.

If I move forward with this plan, I'd opt to get a very nice rig, to try and compensate for the "I'm vacationing in a trailer feeling". 

If you take two comparable homes of equal quality, condition, age, features and location but differing sizes, the smaller home will invariably show a higher value for $/sq ft.That number is somewhat useful in a development where there are cookie-cutter homes that are identical in every way, but unless the development is new, some will have been upgraded and/or updated and others will not.Your best bet is to get contractors in to bid on both a gut rehab and a tear down. 

A 8.5'x14' trailer can store a lot of tools when rigged up with shelves.

I was going to get bolt cutter and get access.

-Comps in the area are selling at around 250K for cookie-cutter 1990s mountain lodge style homes that need updating.

With all the development in the area as well as a large umber of high end cookie cutter apartments coming in we felt that this was a good buy.

They're not a magic bullet, and of sharply limited utility outside a care facility.For construction work, we should leave off the disposable convenience respirators and go buy a 3M reusable rig with bayonet connections.

I'm not sure a cookie-cutter tax professional from the big box stores will do.Any tips on finding a tax preparer who is house hack knowledgeable?

Plus, rents are rigged to go up slowly over time, so you SHOULD be ok..
