Hello,
Yes you can purchase a house for cash. You don't need to report the home when you buy it but you do need to keep track of the basis (cost plus improvements).
You can have it as a rental property and you would need to report the income and expenses on schedule E of your tax return and you will pay taxes on the net profit.
Based on the amount of income you disability may or may not become taxable.
