I plan to someday use my Primary job as leverage to work things out with investors while working my 9-5. 

Sell your primary and use that money to provide your near term needs while your rental pays your mortgage and then some.

Would that be true if we made the new property in FL our primary? 

Then start the painful process of trying to notifying, move/store and auction off the abandoned property.I've thoroughly researched the SB1079 laws and qualify as a prospective owner/occupant since we honestly plan to use the home as our primary residence.I guess my primary question is, is there anything I seem to be missing and need to look into?

@Heather Jensen Are you looking to build a house for investment or your primary residence? 

We do a lot of fix and flip, new construction, DSCR, Development, Commercial and even primary home financing all over Texas. 

See if you can get a copy of The Millionnaire Real Estate Investor by Keller.The Slight Edge and Atomic Habits too.Awesome board with many smart people having own suggestions and ideas to grow wealth!!

We would like to avoid putting our primary residence on the line for this.

Are there additional primary residence requirements such as homeowners exemption required, or anyone know if this is coming down the line?

The primary challenge was ensuring the property met all zoning requirements for residential use after being a commercial space.
