Spend the extra coin and get higher class neighborhoods, skip the rough areas.

I am not making it a bedroom, just an extra room for an office or whatever the renter uses it for. 

Verification:Rental of Other Property Not Securing the VA Loan Obtain the following: documentation of cash reserves totaling at least 3 months mortgage payments (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance - PITI), and individual income tax returns, signed and dated, plus all applicable schedules for the previous 2 years, which show rental income generated by the property.

I am here to learn, connect and develop with like-minded individuals.

The A/R page at the end listed the individual units but 5 out of 12 had arrears and 2 looked like they were behind a year.

Then I didn't know if it was appropriate to charge $1 for 10 years or if asking for like $250/yr per acre was reasonable.Anyway, it seems extra challenging BECAUSE there's no real money in it and because its pretty flippant.

I found one on the local craigslist that I could afford, and I'm thinking about buying it with the intention of renting it out, and using the profits from that to offset my own living situation (kinda like a duplex house hack but with 2 separate houses), or worse case scenario I could just live there and the lot rent plus utilities would be less than what I'm currently paying, and I could have roommates for extra income.

Or rent out an extra bedroom in your personal home for a little bit to get cash.

Over time the individual sections shift , develop gaps and leaks and that encourages root growth. 

I know that Zillow and Trulia can do this on an individual basis, but I'm looking more for statistics.
