Let them know how much you enjoy living in the home and mention that you’re planning to buy your own property in 2025.

The first house I bought, I lived there rent free, AND mortgage free, while renting rooms to other people.

My understanding is that typically, a homeowner must live in the property for at least a year before converting it to a rental.

I now live out of state, but I still have a 4 acre property near the crossroads (on 111 & near 77) in Lavaca County, TX that I need to do something with.

Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

The 'investor' promises that the homeowner can continue to live in the home and repurchase it later or promises them new financing.

What about while I live there I wanted to rent out the other unit or units, is this allowed under USDA?

Most people living in far north suburbs of DFW are not working downtown. 

Thank you for the reply @Dave Meyer, it's not everyday that I get to converse with BP Royalty.
