There is only 1 apartment complex within 10 to 20 miles in either direction to the larger cities. 

If you have a reason or story to explain to the underwriter why this next purchase is going to be your primary home, than you will be fine with a 5% down conventional loan (or a FHA loan with 3.5% down if the condo complex is FHA approved).An experienced lender should ask you to type an email telling the underwriter why this is a primary home. 

Take it slow for a couple of years, do 1 or 2 deals at a time.If I were in your shoes I'd look at spending around half of this money on a steady cash flow apartment complex or commercial property in an 'A' location with around 50% leverage.

In my experience, apartment complexes are generally slow to respond to requests to verify rental history.

My strategy is mostly SFH but I am open for 1-4 unit complexes.

I've got a 15 unit 93% occupied apartment complex in Atlanta.

I'd like them to have reputable experience with dealing with fix and flippers, not cost a crazy amount since I'm not going to be doing 50 flips my first year or doing any rentals yet, so it shouldnt be too complex (3-4 is my goal in an LLC), ideally a free consultation but thats not a must. 

This is what we did for all applicants at the apartment complex where I worked.

There are some groups out there doing (or claim they can do) drop and swaps but to most sponsors that's just a tangled web of complexity so you don't see this very often.4. 

Looks like the minor league baseball team has pulled out, but other good news from the article below.The county says the cancellation of the stadium build won't impact other projects, including the Riverwalk expansion, Runyon Sports Complex expansion, and Main Street pedestrian redesign.https://www.krdo.com/news/minor-league-baseball-te...
