I have been working on creating more passive RE opportunities and have come across a unique equity financing structure.

Strategy 1: buy a duplex, live in one unit (for one year as a "primary residence) and rent out another unit as a short-term / mid-term rental on Airbnb.

Other possible issues I may encounter with the address is with my home insurance, car insurance, and if the FHA does a check to see if I'm residing at the property. 

Our bank will let us use equity that exceeds 25% across multiple properties that are either owned free and clear or where they hold the first so long as the deal still cash flows with however much cash is brought to the table.

A duplex could be a great compromise that lets you start small, build equity, and learn the ropes while mitigating some of the financial risks.

Although there is no way to prove this, (I reside in FL; the investment property is in AL) my GC tells me the unit was secured by a cage and bolted down.
