Thaddeus Scruggs Seems like wholesaling is the route for you. I've very recently sparked a little interest in wholesaling since it seems like a lucrative way to build capital for my buy and hold dreams. Good luck man! Keep us updated.

Welcome Bryan Brown Awesome website. I remember when I first joined BP I was very hesitant to post in any forums but I quickly learned that the more you interact the better. How has your search been in regards to Lifestyles Unlimited? I actually have a basic membership with them. Just wanted to see what they were all about and check out that initial two day class

@Brandon Proctor

Hey there man. After reading the thread it's really got me motivated to get going. I'm in a similar situation in regards to the family situation.  I'm curious... Have you taken any action yet?

Congrats Bernie Tobin Definitely sounds like a steal. About how many mobile/manufactured he's do you plan on putting on the additional lots?

@Kevin Sullivan

Hey there Kevin, I'm just curious how things were going with your purchase.  This was a very interested thread that I just finished reading.  I might be looking to do the same thing in the near future.

Definitely competitive. I've been shopping around for my first deal and they seem to have quite a few perks. Also, they have a "PMI Advantage" that people can take advantage of (if your DP is below 20% of course).

@Troy Sheets

thank you for your input.  Unfortunately we aren't offering free labor so I would have to decline your offer lol...

Definitely gave me some things to think about.

Have a great day
