I do have people in Jax that could act as a co-host possibly.

And the homeowner can relocate for reasons other than in an employer-forced move, according to the FHA handbook.Co-Borrower: You also can remain a co-borrower on an FHA loan and obtain another FHA mortgage.

Or a co-op? 

The worst thing is I did not have picture before she moves in but the inspector would not have given me a CO with a broken rail and messed up ceiling.

However, if SHE were to buy the property and use you as a co-signor, that is allowed...but there are some important restrictions.  

She should be a co-host on the airbnb app and not need your log in information to manage.

I am finding all sorts of properties in Lake Forest, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton, etcI know of low down and down payment assistance programs that could help too.I would also like to put together an investment fund for just the thing in OC.Thinking goes, we buy a multiunit and turn into a co-op or TIC [tenant if common] , this brings your cost of living down much further compared to a SFR or even an entitled condo. 

Have at least 580 fico score [if not work on this first]3. you have a w-2 income you can document [They like those that play within the system, sorry, if not get a co-borrower that can, partner up if need be]4.

@Chris Mason Would I be able to have my father as a co-borrower (non-vet) on a VA loan?

An alternative would be do find a co-borrower to cosign with you who has employment history.
