Since generally the benefit of a house hack is to hold the primary residence loan as long as possible, if you hold it long-term, you could still be forced to pay the mortgage insurance 10+ years down the line.Plus, you can only have one FHA loan (with some exceptions) at a time, so I'd rather use this house hack for 5% down which I can repeat and save FHA for another time. 

So, perhaps hiring a couple day laborers to help them move or even paying the 1st months rent on a storage unit would be better.

You are going to pay more for something new so you might take a look on the local Craigslist, FB marketplace or OfferUP and see what is out there.

Then, both needed about $5,000-$10,000 each in repairs and cleanup.Even with low rents in those areas, renters struggle to pay $995/month on one property and $1,095/month on another.

Primary home is a little easier but for FHA and other programs it requires 12 months title seasoning.There is something called delayed financing that if you purchase a piece of land and pay for the home "All Cash" without a mortgage you can get up to 80% LTC.

These areas attract long-term tenants who are willing to pay for quality housing​​.Mixed-Use Properties:Properties that combine residential and commercial spaces offer diversified income streams.

Then they have to sign a W-9 before we'll pay them.So, we've never had to deal with illegals, etc.

You can't actually pay it off directly because they've been securitized, and the people who invested in those securities did so because of the specific certainty of the payment schedule.What you do in a defeasance is use the proceeds of the sale or the funds from your new lender to purchase treasury bonds that are packaged to make the exact payment amounts and timings on the remaining term of the loan, and then assign those bonds to your old lender.
