Enjoy privacy, peace of mind.2.

Part of my expense is to put a privacy fence in the back of the house to buffer the house from a huge dog that hangs over the chain link fence - no way in heck anyone is going to live with that.  

I ended up not going for that house because of the way it was situated on the hill (other houses towering down in the back - no privacy for renters).  

Does anyone know about the economics of this, and technicalities of privacy?

The cameras are all on the outside of the property, so privacy wouldn't be a problem.

For the additional comfort of privacy, a SFH; house hacking for getting on the path towards financial independence.

I'd just leave those questions off to avoid privacy arguments.

if you can buy it cheaper and thus  rent it cheaper, then your market is someone who wants the privacy of a SFH and a yard for a dog ...downsizers, single moms ...and somewhat price sensitive.  

There are some obvious advantages of a SFR over a duplex from a tenant prospective, less noise, full use of the yard, privacy, etc.  

As I travel, I need a means to receive wherever I am (email is easy, but fax was a problem).Client can fax to my number, it goes to the trustfax server and encrypted for privacy, then emailed to me where it arrives as a PDF (clean and readable)Outgoing, I create a PDF (doc & xls work but can change the formatting, whereas PDF is fixed), login, setup the coversheet details, attach my doc(s) and FAX it.
