FHA and VA are government agencies and will have access to all of the applicants personal and financial information.

@Xingcai Wu Keep in mind, rent assistance from the government may take several weeks before you receive approval.

I'd talk to a Qualified Intermediary before you make a plan.It looks like the government may pass 100% Bonus Depreciation. 

More government regulation…

As important, nothing adds credibility like starting with, “Hello Everyone, My name is [Your Name] … .”

It spells out the monthly rent,when it’s due, the length of the lease (or term), should contain clauses required by the federal and state governments, andmuch more.

I’ve “heard” you could live there for a year and then go some where else however you can’t pull out another FHA loan with the exception of moving somewhere to work or having an increase in family size.Any advice on what a good way to start is with no real capital to your name (to BRRRR) and no credibility to raise money?

HOA's yes, fairly common they have such, not a governance as a whole. 

For example, there is a 2% or so transfer tax to be paid to the municipal and state governments.

For me I think Belize is a safer place with a more stable government than Panama....but I have not done a whole lot of research.
