Personally, I wouldn't live somewhere where I have people living above me as I am sensitive to noise. 

And I choose locations where people would want to stay.is it risky to use a va loan then?

People got the double whammy.

Was a great way to get started and I learned hands-on.

Another option would be to use a platform like Thumbtack or Angie's List who have reviews and people on the ready for a variety of services.Best of luck!

I have a deal in my hands of 7 mobile homes all on separate .25 acre lots and all rented out to long term tenants.

You could also instead: get a construction loan and buy a fixer home with no ADU and you build it yourself. usually - I see people buying a home like this for $650k to $700k and then adding the ADU for $100k where you end at $750k to $800k with a well renovated home! 

People buy investment properties for all types of different reasons in all different types of areas that all have pros and cons.
