Thanks everyone for the support and advice.

I was also thinking of using this money to start wholesaling or other forms of dealing that would increase my capital so I can further support my goal.

Now, I am currently starting into my second year of renting as an individual, while supporting a family.  

Thanks everyone for the advice and support. 

In 2008 I had gone broke going to school out of state and getting a collection on my credit score, it suddenly became very difficult to get loans to go to school (keep in mind, I had no support from my parents and was living on my own).

The other focus will be for cashflow thru a Supportive Housing program providing affordable housing to individuals and Vets with disabilities.

This cost saving measure as supported in the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract, Part B, Section 6(c) , which allows the PHA to re-determine the reasonable rent at any time in accordance with HUD requirements."

Of course, this also doesn't make it legal if it's not already legal, but it should provide some reassurance that I'm not trying to force a buyer to use my lender.Again, I don't know if there is any case law to support the legality of this one way or the other (I've heard lots of debate), but I'm personally comfortable with the risk...

Oddly enough it might have worked out as the market is really strong in our area right now.I figure we will list our SFR house within the next month or two as we are completing everything.So my numbers have changed a bit from my first post as I have been spending money on remodeling while supporting both my wife and I.Projected financials April 2016: 215k liquid with approx 4k per month residual income.Now once we sell our house and sell/store our personal belongings we are going on a 2-3 month road trip.

He doesn't necessarily have to be involved, but he has to at least support the idea.
