@Chris Utter I think I missed where you asked for: their income, credit score, current rental rate, how long they want to live at your property, what pets they have, which vehicles they have (and their plate no.) and an emergency contact. 

When you have equity in a property what you are doing is buying false cash flow at a very high premium due to the opportunity value of cash as a investment vehicle.

how about....EACH applicant income must be 3x, 4x, 5x, total rent.EACH applicant must have a credit rating of 800 or higher.Only one vehicle is allowed on the property, landlord uses the other spaces.That should weed them out.

General things to look out for per Fannie Mae: - Built on or after 6/15/1976 as evidenced by a HUD Data Plate and HUD Certification Label- Must not have been previous installed at any other site or location- Any outstanding vehicle title is surrendered prior to, at or post-closing if already real property- Minimum 12 ft wide and have a minimum of 400 sq ft gross living area.- The towing hitch, wheels and axles must be removed- The client must own the land, leaseholds are not allowed.- Must be anchored to a permanent foundation system in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements and must meet local and state codes.- If the property is not situated on a publicly dedicated and maintained street, then it must be situated on a street that is community-owned and maintained, or privately owned and maintained.

Also, is there a trick to being able to write it off as a business expense.It seems like covering your personal residence and vehicle would mean no write off for the policy payment?

The great thing about partnership vehicles is that you can dictate how profits/losses are allocated among the partners.

I have watched many Tiny home shows on TV and I have owned High End Bus Conversion Motor homes as well as production Motor homes.

My tenant faced issues with dishwasher and I sent a repairman, who checked the dishwasher and told me that motor had issue and it is better to buy a new one then to fix this one as it would cost me $900. 

My selected vehicle of choice to do this was to become a Realtor. 

I made contact with friends in LA  to start looking for a 2nd hand vehicle we can buy on arrival, one friend has let me know we can borrow their RV while we are in the states at no charge , just pay fuel and maintanence costs incurred during our trip.
