Hello, so I've seen that FHA loans do not like you to rent out your property until after you've lived in it for a year, and then even then, they seemingly are not compatible at all with short-term rentals (under 30 days), like for Airbnb.

This sounds more like a personal loan, or if this is legit they might charge you a ridiculous interest rate.No closing costs?

Acquire the land through a seller-financed deal for the deed to the land and use it for collateral to cover the 20% down payment needed for the construction loan.

Got approved for an HM Loan, and it mentions that the construction portion of the funding will be held and construction draw requests will be sent accordingly.

I agree with Ko. my first thought was that you could try to find a small multi-family to purchase with a low down payment loan. 

One, you will get a lower interest rate than an investment loan.

I would be looking at using the VA home loan as this is why I would be looking at living in the place for a year.

Are there any $50-60k minimum loan amount lenders?

I wouldn't do a personal or private loan right out of the gate

@Joshua Jacobs- are you looking for a loan to help buy an investment  proeprty ?
