Without positive cash flow all the hypothetical "appreciation" amounts to zero value aside from bragging rights.

Fortunately, I've never had to take out student loans or apply for a credit card in the past; unfortunately, this leaves me in the position of having zero credit whatsoever, it's not bad, it's just that I don't have any at all.Is it possible to get any type of FHA loan without credit?

No hard feelings on this, it's just you need a lender that will put you in a position to succeed. 

To date we have done over 20 flips and had probably more than 20 minor and major disasters including floods, over budget projects, being ripped off by contractors, and even getting sued.I have some ideas on how you can strategically get rid of the debt faster and get your credit fixed.

Use that money to purchase similar positive cash flow positive properties using minimum DPs.Any equity in a income property is not performing to it's maximum and is a very expensive form of buying cash flow.

You want title to the property so that you can commit to investing in it.Lease options can work, but most sellers are not savvy enough to understand them, and they don't want to be put in a position to take the MHP back when you decide to let it go, walk away.

When the property market tumbles (if it does), I'm in a position to scoop up a bargain.

You really are not in that bad of a position.

. $1000 rent on a $180K property will never produce true positive cash flow.
