Option 2 is I list it and we find a suitable tenant but they pay until then and they’re allowed to find a tenant too.

Lots of great solutions already listed here.

There were no properties or policies listed.

Hey Cody, I would not continue to expect the homes to appreciate as they have in the past, so I would definitely look in to trying to find something off-market, or by offering lower than listed on stale properties that have opportunity for some value add.

When I told her this wasn’t allowed, she asked what part of the lease prevented it (there wasn’t anything in the lease that prevented it) …needless to say, I changed my lease to clearly state that each room in the house was single occupancy, and that there were limits on the frequency of guests (you live and you learn).This is by no means an exhaustive list of house hacking tips/tricks, it’s just what came to mind…It’s also worth remembering that, even with extensive preparation, house hacking can be challenging, and things WILL go wrong (e.g.; inconsiderate housemates, broken leases, furnaces that kick the bucket at the WORST possible time, etc., etc.).

I'm not sure about specific auctions, but you might want to check local listings or contact the stores directly. 

Just try to copy other successful listings. 

Say they list a property for $100k, and it will cash flow for you at that price, but they actually have more than $100k in debt on the deal.

Are there better lists that I should be targeting like high equity or mailing to everyone in a certain neighborhood?

The list of restrictions for each includes front, side, and rear yard setbacks, limits on the percentage of the lot that can be covered by the building, required parking, etc.If you want to put a duplex in a single family area, you may be able to do so - but first you'll need to get the property rezoned to permit that use.
