If you've got that kind of money, and you're after financial freedom and a house to live in, have you considered dumping it all into index funds and living off (rent+bills) the winnings? Sure, there are no guarantees in life, but the same truism applies to a house. I don't know your circumstances, but it's not uncommon to need far less money in investments to cover the rent than the amount needed to buy outright.
