Love this mindset.

Not trying to be difficult this is a serious question?

Lenders will want a letter from your employer that states you are allowed to work remote from where you currently live and that this move will not affect your income. 

I'm glad you shared this. 

@Matt McCurdy We have lots of clients that utilize this strategy.

I’ve been in the real estate business as a broker, helping clients buy and sell homes, but I’m looking to take things to the next level by diving deeper into investing.

Is this normal?

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

Trust me, everyone of them will ask "wheres the closet in this room?" 

if you have no money to put down then you're not ready.here's what i would do instead:-save up enough until you have enough money to do a live-in flip-do a live-in fliphope that helps
