Hi

I’m sorry if I missed your post from before, I didn’t see if you did one.

Basically my wife and I were in the process of assuming a loan on a duplex from a family member and the family pulled out after we’d already done a significant amount of work on the home. So essentially we lost quite a bit of time and a significant amount of money that could’ve been used to pursue other real estate.

Hello all,

I’m new to Bigger Pockets and real estate investing. I’ve been interested and looking to do something for a while, and I’ve already been burned once. 

Recently my wife and I were looking at listings online and saw a mobile home for sale. I reached out to the owner of a local park and they expressed interest in us purchasing one or more homes in their park, and assisting us with renovating and renting them. They also stated they were looking at getting out of the business in the next 4-5 years and seemed possibly interested in selling us the business.

With the market so high currently mobile homes appeal to me with the low investment and somewhat high ROI. I'm wondering if anyone in this group could offer some advice in this area, things to look out for, and just general beginner tips. I'm aware of some concerns such as lack of equity compared to a normal home, etc. We live in rural upstate NY.

Thanks for any help that can be offered!
