@Steve Vaughan That is awesome you're getting paid to live in your housing situation!

My goals are grand, ambitious, and future proof.I plan to build affordable homes in a way that is self sustaining, and desired by many.I plan to invest into Single family homes, and multi family homes to get the individuals who live in them a better life.I live in Utah, so the market is not the best.

If it is somewhat habitable and you can live in it for a year, you can get primary residence financing. 

I assume if you have a lien and it isn't redeemed, the previous owner could still be living there, correct?

If you can live in it.  

"Gentrification" made Tampa and the surrounding areas much better places to live.

This is a big deal since we live in the same lot with my family and I’m renting out my ADU.  

That said I live in Birmingham and spend most of my time there so I think that is the best place to get started, but I would like to invest in some Huntsville Real Estate at some point.

Idk why they closed it down, I also heard from my friend that lives in Goldsboro that it is in a flood zone idk if the whole building is in the zone or partially in the zone.

You live in the property and learn how to self-manage/maintenance/lease units when tenants come and go.
