Tyler, if you want to send me over your email, I will put into my 30 yr proforma and calculate the PITI and show your returns. 

I work in engagement marketing and deal with construction tradesmen all day, usually more custom type tradespersons with a lot of care and concern for their own work, which may glamorize it more than I realize.

They are a great crowd, and networking was amazing.I just finished the self paced course and just got off the phone with them concerning the Gold and Platinum programs for mentorship.  

Called a few Foremost agents in NYC and either no pickup or don't do over 3 units. :( :( 

As far as your concern about WA being a more tenant friendly state, I hear you.

I know many people have done it this way,  but two major parts I am concerned about are 1) how do you handle all the paperwork such as W2's, 1099's business records, etc. without meeting in person?

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

I will say that they never ignored my concerns.

I'll also add that guidelines change over time. just because they don't like it now doesnt mean they wont decide later to be okay with it.  

One of my concerns is that lenders won't lend to potential buyers because it is a modular home.
