This sounds like a house hack???

A lot of the advice I am seeing here and other places seems to oriented towards younger newbies - For ex: - house hacking or BRRR - these are not appealing to me. 

Which insurance providers or claims adjusters typically handle displacement housing arrangements?

Only the house 5 down with the same sq ft is literally worth 100K more because the neighborhood actually changes in those 5 houses. 

With your focus in using house hacking, Conventional or FHA loans would be your best options.

If you wanted to house hack I would stay where you are at and find one there.

For example, I live in Gilbert, AZ, which isn't exactly the cheapest place to live, so if I begin to look for a house here in AZ are the lenders going to want to see 300k-400k$ in liquid assets for me to get approval for a mortgage (as the homes in my area are around 800K-1M)? 

I’m fairly new to REI and looking to learn more about house hacking, fix and flipping, and fonding renters.  

Cabin rentals out there are not like houses for primary residences.

Quote from @Jinxiang Xu: New to being a landlord, and already forked out $20k for foundation repair on this rental house.
