I was chosen for other factors that were not directly related to money

Hopefully, judgement and advice from this forum will allow me to narrow it down to a single choice so i'm very eager to hear from you all;1 - A slow start at a small scale (cash)a) Move in late October, applying for a bank account and small credit cards where feasible to build a credit history. b) Buy a simple and turnkey 3BR single-family to househack for ~ 100k in my own cash (Such as [1.i]), while transplanting or recreating my exterior cleaning business (1.ii).c) As soon as any lender would allow, exit through whatever HELOC/mortgage on the house I could secure in order to buy a new one again in cash, and repeat until a 'normal' lending process is offered.With only the taxes, insurance, maintenance, capital expenditures, and vacancies to account for at first and with room rentals in the area going for around 500-600/month, this seems to be a soft and forgiving method to land, and will become the backup plan regardless of my chosen path.PROS:*Eliminates FICO scores, lender/underwriter scrutiny, and credit history as potential barriers;*Least risky due to small total investment;*Least complicated process, and;*Lowest initial ongoing expenses.CONS:*No leverage - Stuck for a prolonged period before continuation;*No diversification - All eggs in one basket until refinancing;*Effort, risk, and expense of starting a temporary small business, and;*Loan ability throttled by self-employment.

The properties I run through my analysis are ones that are specifically chosen to have a higher than average probability of rising rents.

@Aaron Carter I've been watching about a dozen properties in both the greater Nashville, TN and Tampa, FL markets and I've chosen Option #1, which is to let the auction end with my bid as the high bid, even though the reserve was not met.The property to which I referred in my post has gone through no less than five auction cycles since I've started watching it.

Others may soon be named as defendants in the lawsuit.The lawsuit is still at Discovery Stage, but I have chosen to speak out now for one basic reason: the longer these companies are not publicly condemned, the more landlords will suffer.
