I'll join you in the law suit. 

The 25k would do fine in a stock index that suits your risk tolerance.

We are currently building the house to be a single family home, but the main house could be split into 2 units and there is already a 'mother-in-law' suite completed.

Purchase price: $65,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Purchased a 2 bedroom home with a separate 1 bedroom in law suite in the back yard.

An ideal world for me would be to find a salary or hourly full time position with minimum 55k a year in Arizona so I can learn and also make enough to get approved to buy my first property that I later want to rent out and hold long term.

Ideally I’d like to leave my realtor out of this sale due to their high price tag in my area.

Another strategy you can look into is building out an "in-law suite" or ADU.

Ideally, I wanted within 1 mile and sold within 6 months. 

We have started a leads generating business that generates top property leads suited to fit your specific criteria.

If you are only living there for a few months each year, why not look for a home with a suite?
