Hey Nathan, congrats on taking these steps.

But I think you could take this a step further and instead of charging no rent, your rent could be the cost of the taxes and insurance annually.

Overall, your next actional step should be attending local REI meet-ups.

The mega backdoor roth sounds great in practice, but in real life situations I've never actually recommended it to anyone. 

Im sure there are many properties owned by someone famous but they practically never lived in it.

Step 1: Get preapproved for an FHA loan for the purchase price you are looking for.Step 2: Connect with builders until you find a few that will finance the construction of your home. 

What would be the very first steps to get started? 

I'll just say that nothing is going to teach you more in this space than practical experience.
