Hello, my name is Kyle Hardie and I live in Fairmont MN. 

I've lived in central Texas for 44 years and never have I replaced a roof less than 20 years old.

Convert the property you are living in now to your second rental, and buy a new home for yourself. 

@Benjamin Goodman gives a good example referencing live in flips. 

So - somewhere 2 hours away, or somewhere you like to vacation in, or where all your family lives, or where you plan to move someday.Too many people are trying to do exactly what you're doing - pick a market based on a formula - and they end up buying a random 'cheap' property thousands of miles away, turn it over to people they've never met or even spoken to, and then... lose money.  

When you sign almost all mortgage closing packages, you are signing an Occupancy Clause that states you are intending to live in the home for 12 months.  

Quote from @Jemini Leckie: Hello, I am trying to understand the Orem, city code to determine if I am allowed to rent my basement ADU that I currently live in two a couple cousins and their friend.

Did you read Lend to Live?

I currently live in the Bay Area, but I’ve decided to start investing in the Jackson County/MO area.

If they're evaluating other properties and you have a good social presence that gives them peace of mind and a good sense that they'll have a nice living experience, that could be the tipping point if they're considering a similar property.
