In this scenario, you will benefit more by holding off to qualify for a standard primary residence loan and house hacking. 

Can you get started with a house hack close by to where you live or move if you have to? 

I think they hold all loans in house so could potentially be more creative.  

I buy rental houses in Indialantic and Melbourne Beach, in addition to my Texas portfolio.  

We recently did the same thing with our primary house.

You can work at RE as many or as few hours as you want to....But do you want to help others buy/sell houses, or are you going to be an investor?

we are building a building just like this in Columbus Ohio except vertical. we added kitchens and all studios and common commercial and mixed it in. multifamily is much easier to finance. we got a similar valuation. we don't have to buy 1 million dollars worth of furniture either. apartment hotels are what some people call them but we are underwriting affordable housing. we copied the hotel development rezoning applications in our market but went for multifamily and I had it underwritten at 15 million and we just had the number one debt placement broker look at it and appraise it for 20 million because they added a tax abatement. hotel development works because of the nightly rate and higher occupancy and no kitchens in every unit.

I dont really know what a FLW house would bring a premium or not except his famous one I think its in WI house on a rock or something like that.
