For those interested, I'll connect with you individually in the next couple of weeks. 

Selling my Southwest Michigan rental portfolio of 12 properties (21 units) located in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek and surrounding areas. Monthly gross rents are currently $20k. Price is 2.2M.

I have called banks and looked online but not having much success locating lenders who will provide 30-year fixed rate mortgages or HELOCs on a manufactured houses that sit on their own land (permanently affixed double-wides considered 'real property'). I found one company but even after seasoning for 6 months they will only lend based on purchase price and not current market value. I'm looking for a cash-out refi or possibly a HELOC (I had it appraised when I purchased it and at the time it was valued at $144k). Any referrals/ideas?

I use the platform for my business and was part of the pilot before it was officially launched. PM me and I can connect you to Josh (the owner of GoForClose). Here's the link to more details about the platform...although there have been a ton of feature additions since this was made:

@Michael Schick

I am Nate’s brother and have 11 units of my own in Kalamazoo under management. My property manager is a little pricey but is very good and an investor himself. Happy to talk...
