FHA 203(k) Loan BasicsThe FHA 203(k) loan is an excellent option for financing a multifamily property (up to 4 units) with only 3.5% down.

If you ever need assistance or guidance with financing options for your project, feel free to reach out.

Its not near any major cities where someone might look at it as a long play for path of progress.Another option might be to see if a solar farm or wind farm company might be interested once its clear cut. 

One option I'm considering is adding the equivalent of a camelback, or second story over one side of the home, adding ~900-1000sqft and 2 or 3 bedrooms. 

On VRBO, when we set up the listing, they didn't have a "loft" option, so I think it's considered office space which led to some confusion or set up as a second living area.

Hey Jake I defnitinly like having the option having private investors but I have yet to acquire them.

Sounds like you have some interesting options, and good reasons for both! 

I'm currently in the option period with it ending on Monday so I need to make an educated decision by then.

I want to know the options and you are certainly gave  me good info. 

Also Solo 401k could be a better option for you if you're self employed with no FT W2 employees.
