Being self employed, I have a lot of control over how much I earn in a year.

The exact amount that triggers this requirement varies by situation (for instance, a $1,000 cash gift may be material to a single borrower that makes $35,000/yr but may not be material to a borrower that makes $350,000/yr), so it’s good practice to ask your lender if you suspect you might have a material cash gift or large deposit – so you aren’t surprised by this at the last minute.Repeated and updated documentation of any of the above.

I find that dealing with a single house is a bit of a headache but I was thinking - maybe it would be more beneficial to focus on selling and opting for a 4 unit which has more doors and through an FHA, I can control higher value real estate and walk away with cash. 

I don’t believe the digital wall mounted controller is operated by batteries.

When I was in Law School I don't think I could have predicted tax liens would be my sole area of practice, but its good when your hobby is also your occupation I think.
