I’ve hosted a few mid-term tenants through Furnished Finder, and it can work out really well when everything’s set up clearly up front.A few things to think about:Verify income or employer if you haven’t already.

Either way, the principle should be: recover reasonable costs (lost rent during turnover, marketing expenses, etc.) but don’t trap tenants in unrealistic penalties.Owner flexibility helpsIn your case, since you’d like to move back in, it makes sense to work out a modest termination fee and let the tenant go.

The end goal is to make $30K all said and done off new home builds and subbing 90% of the work out.

Some lenders bundle the land and build into one loan and convert it to a mortgage after.Also, if the seller owns the land free and clear, you might be able to work out seller financing to ease the upfront cash.

IDK arbitrage is fraught with so many issues notably the outlay to furnish an entire place that you don’t own with decor that is unlikely to translate to a Midwest property should things not work out in CA. 

Where this is a newer area to you, you will most likely need a partner (higher end payment based on equity split usually, but if it falls through you aren't out anything) or an experienced real estate attorney (fixed cost will often be lower, but you're making that payment whether things work out or not).
