The plan is to live in it for a cpl years so right now I’m assuming my best bet is a tricky FHA 203k loan.

Oddly there is very little on the market right around there.

If you are going to be doing all the legwork, guaranteeing notes and have the expertise to execute and all you need is capital, one of the first two options might be your best bet.

However, it would seem as though the BP Pro is the best bet.   

They'll take pride in working for such a reputable brand, and you can bet they'll be fired up to achieve the company's goals. 

I just find it odd you can't bring yourself to say you do or do not own certain properties.

Put in the effort, build relationships, prove your value, and improve your odds of finding someone to help launch you on your path. 

Go to meetups, tell your story, and I bet you'll find experienced investors that will help you out (by giving you advice, not by cutting you a check or partnering). 

They really should be able to terminate even faster since they haven't onboarded or done anything yet (maybe a background check at most)You are the owner of the unit - so yes you can refuse to sign or approve any tenant generally (unless your contract specifies otherwise which would be incredibly odd - my PM runs potential tenants by me first)

A local BOCES college built a 900 sq ft 'modular' home & auctioned off for $42,000 & I bet we could have built it for half that.
