I've done several house-hacks personally with different strategies as well and have helped many clients do them in Pinellas/Hillsborough/Pasco/Manatee counties as well so if you have questions let me know and I can give you a rundown of your best options based on your preferences.If you don't want, or don't need to house-hack, then you have a couple options and that is going to depend on your goals, savings rate, and other details.

Someone could purchase at 600k, make a very safe annual 6% ROI (and escalator above that every year) plus have the base property appreciating at the same time for resale later. 

I rehab the property and then later go and get 30 year fixed rate conventional financing based on 70% - 75% of appraised value.
