Being part Alaska Native, there was incentive where they would pay your down payment and we utilized that tool!

For example, in my state PA there is an inheritance tax and many TAX auction properties originate from people passing away and the heir(s) not taking control over the estate and paying those property taxes.

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

Urged them to make a withdrawal and pay the tax penalty because this program, training, education will change their life.

I would suggest taking the route of option 2 or 3, so not only are you saving over 10k in rent per year but the residents help in paying down the debt.

I'm willing to pay retail or close to retail for properties in 'A' locations.

Depending on how close I was to having 20% equity in the property and being able to avoid PMI, I’d consider using some of my cash to pay down the mortgage when I refinanced.

Primary home is a little easier but for FHA and other programs it requires 12 months title seasoning.There is something called delayed financing that if you purchase a piece of land and pay for the home "All Cash" without a mortgage you can get up to 80% LTC.

So, perhaps hiring a couple day laborers to help them move or even paying the 1st months rent on a storage unit would be better.
