Another good option may be to try and find a house hack that you can live in and have your tenants and or roommates pay your mortgage so that you can effectively live for free. 

I recommend buying your first primary home, whether it be a single-family home or duplex, and then getting roommates to absorb some of the cost.

I'm very flexible in my living situation as I was housesitting while being nomadic for 2 years and now live with two roommates, so I'm definitely comfortable in shared, unpredictable, and unconventional circumstances.

I think the best approach here is to let them have it, the goodwill will be worth way more than the dirt- the intent is for my daughter & roommates to occupy the house for a few years, then I will decide on keep or sell. 

For married couples we consider the combined income, for unmarried couples/roommates we require each of them to qualify financially.

It seems like it's usually a single person or roommates if it's a travel nurse and if it's snowbirds it's usually a couple. 

Most of the deals I am analyzing are single family homes - 3bed 2+baths.Like I said I'm looking to live in one and have roommates who pay rent to cover some or all of the mortgage.

My original plan was to buy a property using a FHA loan, have a room mate for a couple years, and then rent out the property.

Now he'd like to find a roommate to share the costs.
