Walton and Destin is a great area to live, really beautiful there. 

Do you need space for your car, or extra room to live / rent out?

Assuming the 2k is all-in cash flow from your currently property which allows you to live rent free + pocket a few hundo, I would keep this property without question.  

Awesome idea..shoot, we better be quick cuz I turn 30 in like 4 months :)I'm a transplant from Oakland and will be living in Dallas. 

The rent from the first 2 ramblers would cover the cost of my entire loan (and some), giving us time and allowing us to live rent-free while we build our dream home.With that said, am I missing something?

This home is to start the flywheel of financial freedom and allow you to live rent-free.

@Lauren Munar  I've had a couple of transplants from LA film industry as tenants.  

The flow of transplants from the Bay Area is increasing due to Clovid, Bay Area rents have some impact but a lot of people are just over it and want to be in a less population dense area.

Hi @Ethan, Yeah I live really close to FB.

Hopefully, judgement and advice from this forum will allow me to narrow it down to a single choice so i'm very eager to hear from you all;1 - A slow start at a small scale (cash)a) Move in late October, applying for a bank account and small credit cards where feasible to build a credit history. b) Buy a simple and turnkey 3BR single-family to househack for ~ 100k in my own cash (Such as [1.i]), while transplanting or recreating my exterior cleaning business (1.ii).c) As soon as any lender would allow, exit through whatever HELOC/mortgage on the house I could secure in order to buy a new one again in cash, and repeat until a 'normal' lending process is offered.With only the taxes, insurance, maintenance, capital expenditures, and vacancies to account for at first and with room rentals in the area going for around 500-600/month, this seems to be a soft and forgiving method to land, and will become the backup plan regardless of my chosen path.PROS:*Eliminates FICO scores, lender/underwriter scrutiny, and credit history as potential barriers;*Least risky due to small total investment;*Least complicated process, and;*Lowest initial ongoing expenses.CONS:*No leverage - Stuck for a prolonged period before continuation;*No diversification - All eggs in one basket until refinancing;*Effort, risk, and expense of starting a temporary small business, and;*Loan ability throttled by self-employment.
