Immediate goal:I'm currently not employed.

There is some fine print you need to read on that, but nothing crazy.However, if you max out your 8-10 Fannie Mae loans, there are hard money loans out there where you can get 30 year amortization for rates in the 6-8 percent range depending on LTV, PDTI, FICO, etc.

From what I'm reading it says that Asheville allows "Homestays" which is what I intend on doing anyways.

Short of attending a boot camp, I’ve done about as much reading and research as I can on the subject.

I'm sure it's in the terms of service that we all click "accept" without thoroughly reading but know that what you post here might be read by a tenant.

For those who didn't read or remember my last post, let me give you a little background.

If there's anyone reading this from Tampa, I'd love to meet up and connect! 

See #1.3 - They CAN give you an Option Consideration (100% of the price of the option) that is at least equal to what you used (you will have already closed on your purchase of the house) for the DP & closing costs.4 - If the above #1-3 are followed, the numbers read like this:   a - Your cost(s) are:         1 -  the DP and closing costs and,         2 -  the Mortgage Payments and Tax/insur per month   b - Your tenant/buyer (your income) gives you the Option Consideration and the rent, and           pays for the rest of the monthly expenses (i.e...utilities, etc...)5 - You profits are:   a - The spread between your DP/Closing and the Option Consideration   b - The spread between your monthly costs, and your monthly incomeJust don't mix the lease agreement with the Option to Buy agreement...in any way. 

@Geoffrey TanudjajaI’ve read about the 2 yr rule and it’d be interesting to know how much leeway the lender has.

Which makes me want to read them.
