I'm currently researching the market, trying to get an understanding as to where these different areas are located in the cities.Any indication is welcome!

Are there any modifications to the written lease?

Will the HML allow you to refi?

Happy to help. 

I am looking to build a house in lake county. pls let me know if there are builders whom I can reach out to?

I got lucky that the tenant wanted a house in my neighborhood to keep kids close to their schoolsHouse was listed for 1750, they offered 2250 but I declined , so they offered $3k, ended up renting the house for $3250 ($250 pet rent) per month, for 3 month, open to extension if needed.I met the tenant and did the background check on them, I felt comfortable renting to them THD takes time with approving the property, but they were quick to approve the lease, and they sent me the checks the next day after lease signingMy house is not furnished, and they were ok with that , they actually work with a company that provides furniture for the tenant, and they coordinate the delivery and setup of furniture on the lease start dateOverall I like the experience working with them , but hey today is day #1 (out of a possible 3 months), so I will update this post if anything wrong happens or if I notice any red flags

You just ask to be added to their customer list and they'll come automatically when the snow hits.  

While there are definitely house hacks that have allowed owners to live for free and show positive cash flow the current interest rates and prices make those less common.
