Finding caregivers who are not only qualified but also compassionate is essential.

The STR deal could be the best option if I understand your situation correctly, except I would probably do this as a cash-out refi and just use the combination of booking history + AirDNA projected income to qualify (if not operated as a STR for a year).

Also will I have to buy the first rental under LLC to qualify for the 3% down loan later?

Yes, 1031 exchange went through qualified intermediary, so i am good with the exchange documentation

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Since you are a real estate agent you are considered to be "self-employed", which means you qualify for Solo 401k plan.

With some investment programs you do not need to be a current homeowner to qualify for a loan. 

My partners and I own an LLC made up of all 3 of our SDIRAs and another made up of our SOLO401Ks (great if you qualify).

Sadly I realize that I won't get the hands on control, but I won't be getting calls about every little rehab issue and they are marketing to and qualifying the buyers.

After that you can decide on what market/area you want to invest in In order to house hack I'd have to have the type of income to quality for a home and here in my state the home market is between $350k to $600 kMy income would only qualify me for Maybe $150k worth of house.Im unaware how to move forward with a house hacking option at these prices.
