I would price out the construction costs on both intentions and then make a decision and consider the maintenance costs of either type if you plan on keeping it long term.Its location and demand in that area should effect your decision too as well as site accessibility,  land research, the land contour plus how you might use any extra space or the current zoning allowance or the utilities that exist.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in building a professional relationship and utilizing Direct Mailing for buying opportunities.

Never had this issue before when purchasing other properties to not let us test utilities. 

We would split utilities evenly and if anyone wanted a private bathroom they would pay a more for that.

Can I take 17% of interest, taxes, utilities, maintenance etc... and use that?

It’s a computer program that utilizes public information…nothing more.

Evidence would be a lease in the tenant's name, a current utility bill in their name at another address, and/or a copy of a current bank statement with their alternative address on it. 

A well designed solar system is designed to offset 100% of your usage based on previous 12 months' usage and conversation about future usage such as intent to buy an electric car, etc.A relatively small bill with the utility will always be there as there is a connection fee for the privilege of being attached to the grid.

If it's your first buy and you want to utilize an FHA you should be looking on-market with an agent where you can do full inspections and can have any FHA anomalies corrected.

I was able to utilize this program (not as a house hack) to get into my primary residence.
