I plan to do house hacking.

Hi, I have done a few flip houses and I have staged them minimally with a few items like towels, baskets, flowers inside etc. 

If you're struggling to get started and don't know where to look, I'd highly recommend doing a house hack. 

Few people want to “unload” a house, but have other issues that only selling might solve. 

We use these floors in every room of the house. 

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

Hello,  We own our house free and clear valued at about 580k.

But now I’m set to start my investment journey in the US, and as many of us know - NY is not the most affordable market.I’m looking to start with a house hack and I’m open and willing to move to fairly anywhere in the US.

Too few details to answer (Of course this varies county by county, all questions could be answered by reading the (zoning)/building code and/or clarified with a visit to the county planning office).but some clarifications because: lots of things are "tiny homes" but what you describe small houses "on permanent foundations" needs to be clarified , tiny homes could be:-stick built, see below. check your county code/planning dept-stick built cabins/recreational, a specific zoning and potential occupancy/etc restrictions but worth looking into where the zoning allows for it -hud manufactured homes (smaller singlewide perhaps 400sq ft 600sq ft minimum)-non-hud park models (on axles), ansi standards- other "RV's" built on a chassis:  organizations, state agencies, etc - will certify factory built (or sometimes inspected professional built) tiny homes on chassis - to whatever standards ansi, riva, dot/ l&i?

The property is extremely mismanaged and the tenants are quite undesirable. 12 of the units are affordable housing tenants and 5 of them are on a master lease with this company who lets the homeless community use the units.
