I haven’t done my first deal yet, but through hiring a local contractor to build my personal residence I had this idea that I don’t hear people talking about.

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

This is my first personal mortgage so I'm trying to learn the game.

I personally did a couple last year that I self furnished and self manage while working full time.  

The lower barrier to entry would be excellent for my personally smaller net worth.

I personally would rather just continue with the second bank, why go back to the first one.

For me personally, our STR and our little inn provide more than half my family's income so I feel I have a fiduciary duty to my wife and kids to maximize that.
