If you have bad credit, low personal funds I would sit this one out. What will the owner do when you sell? Do the tenants have stable employment? Is the area rural? Close to a major city? Does she have the rent rolls, insurance, taxes,etc?
Yeah I guess I don't have much choice. The owner lives a few hours away and is selling off most of her rentals but this one is too much for her to deal with any more being so far off and it being a lower class type community, she claimed the tenants are all loyal bill payers even through covid. It is rather rural aswell. I guess I'm just learning more until I can fimd an equity partner for a deal of can save more capital. I don't have terrible credit its comimg up amd innthe 600s i just know it will be a Hassel.
I appreciate your input greatly

Hey investors and lenders! I have a deal in my hands of 7 mobile homes all on separate .25 acre lots and all rented out to long term tenants.
Owner says rents are about $2-300 under what they could be but with the tenants being loyal and the way they are their own small community she recommends not raising rent.
All 7 homes run off of 2 wells.
Some differed maintenance but overall nice condition trailers range from 70s-80s model
Owner says property manager/handy man lives next door and handles everything for her from maintenance to collecting and deposit rents. But noted he is getting older and having some health problems.
They bring in right under 4k month all together in rents, claims to only pay property manager about 6k yearly, taxes are about 3,500/y.
Comps I have for the same neighborhood range from 60k-145k per property and mobile.
She offered the deal at 250k and will negotiate but I need to be sure I can find funding before I waist anymore of our time.
I would love feedback on what you would do with this deal. What would be your exit strategy A,B, and C? How would you fund this if you are working with less than 20k personal funds.
Can someone maybe even recommend some lenders that can help me out?
I've also considered asking if the owner is interested in an assignable contract, I see hige value add here from the deferred maintenance that I personally can handle and coordinate to small improvements and raising rents slightly.
Another exit would possibly add 5 more wells and sell individually after renovations..
Sorry for the long post but I'm hungry to get started and feel like this can be helpful
