Any Advise for A Newby???

Josh Hurles
Posted

Hello every one, been on this forum now reading every body's post and setting on the sidelines rooting and watch and listening to all the positive thing going on and finally stepping up to try my hand at our first home purchase.  

I am a little skeptical about the market but see there may be an opportunity to purchase a place. My wife and I are wondering how hard it would be to get a loan to either build a home or purchase a Manufactured home after the purchase of the property. It also has an house on it yet small so that would be the ADU hopefully in the near future.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank all of you Guys and Gals for the time, and thank you bigger pockets for the education.

There are a lot of factors at play here. I don't think its a matter of if its "hard" and more a matter of does it "make sense." 

We don't know about the zoning. That will tell you what you can build to see if this is even feasible. Do you need to knock down an existing structure? what utilities are in place. ect. 

I can see your from California. I know the market is still very expensive there. Are you planning on living in it or is strictly investment?
