(Ask me how I learned that one)With a note/mortgage you have zero liability and it's much easier to sell the note for cash, should you want to in the future, but you give up control/ownership. 

I will be able to cash out my original down payment + 30k more if I wanted to but as im going through the process I was wondering in the future if I pursue investing full time how do you still get approved for mortgages?

I hate to sound like jerk, but make sure in the future to always find these answers to your questions before you are about to close.

Pursue legal action against the county and risk future cooperation from them?

That is me, everyone is different.Hey Joe by a deal I mean  properties with some future value.

Focusing your efforts on specific forums related to your interests helps in making relevant connections.Offering value before asking for anything in return can set a strong foundation for future relationships.

I have an awesome girlfriend of almost 4 years and is a big motivator for me trying to become financially independent so I can provide her and my future family a great life. 

Something like fund me now and get credit for a future stay next year. 

So far the finish has exceeded mine and my wifes expectations .

With a ton of equity, and by all means, we are wanting to take advantage of the 500k tax exclusion if possible.There is also a probability that we will move back into this home in the future, let's say in a few years or so.
