There is right way to do it, in the order I described above, don't try to put cart before the horse. 

These rent for $750-$850 and are somewhat readily available [I always have access to several of these turn key work horse properties].Some local MLS have low inventory and competition is fierce [like Indy].  

Of course, forced appreciation of fix and flip is a horse of a different hue!  

I bought a property last December that is unique in that it has a rentable cottage, basement apartment, and 6,000 ft 6 stall horse arena (all despite being a "single-family" residence).

I've begun earnest research in how to screen better residential tenants, and attracting commercial tenants, which is a fair bit trickier.I also own and rent out a cottage with horse pasture acreage, although I'm mulling over offering it as a lease option agreement.

That's putting the cart before the horse.

If you can find these where the zoning allows animals (horses, especially) I would think that could be a good rental.

I have heard all kinds of things, but I would like to get it from the horses mouth.How did I find this site?  

The exceptions are made, you have to create that environment, meaning identify the winning horse.

Man you definitely put the cart before the horse on this one!
