My work schedule involves a lot of overtime that restricted me from attending the last two meetings.

At which point - as you mentioned - I may want to lean more towards a few wholesaling deals because my time won't be consumed or restricted (for lack of better words) by my full-time job.

Are there restrictions on what the loan money can be used for (room & board, books, tuition, etc)?  

Closing on home for long-term rental (targeting 6 to 12 month leases due to HOA restrictions).

A google search on "airbnb restrictions in SF" will quickly give you the information you need.

Probably the best approach would be to have the lease in the Company name and restrict the number of occupants at any given time.

Just keep in mind that you  will need to certify a 1-yr owner occupant period......you can re-fi out of FHA and eliminate the original restrictions...there are a lot of lenders offering a 5% conventional now...it will save you on the upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) associated with a FHA loan...and no owner occupant requirement.

And plan ahead in spring the trucks are subject to roadway weight restrictions so plan ahead,
