If you are self-employed, there are specific loan programs designed for self-employed persons as opposed to conventional W-2 financing. 

If you are considering to invest in other cities for long term rentals, I personally suggest looking into the Columbus OH market.

So I know this isn't really "house hacking", but I wasn't sure where to put the post.

I have paid off student loans, my house, credit cards, car and have 100k that i would like to invest.

Does anyone have any experience with renting to Corporate Relocation companies who provide temporary housing solutions for insurance clients who have been displaced from their homes due to claims?

However through my research i keep coming across this term sneaky duplex where people turn there basements into a unit or block off part of there house to turn into a separate unit. my plan is to use the basement for traveling nurses because you would already have the water and power turned on for them "house is 5 minutes away from the hospital", live in the upstairs for a year and possible house hack one of the rooms.

I own a 28 unit SRO rooming house.

Scott The Book on Flipping Houses,The Book on Estimating ReHab Costshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbookLocate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing.

Look for someone who does 24+ deals per year and is also an investor personally.

Personally I enjoy managing my units and it gives me great joy to do so.
