We plan to hold onto this property for a while and reap the benefits of debt paydown and cash flow will eventually increase as rents do.

Long term I'd have the added benefit of being able to increase the rental rates of two units with the duplex vs the one with the SFH.The other side is the location of the SFH is so great I fear the appreciation may far outweigh what I'll get on the duplex over the next 5-10 years.

It's one of the many benefits of becoming a pro member, if you watch any of the webinars they typically offer a discount code at the end.

That said, you get all the benefits of owner occupant loans like low down payments (3.5% of the total purchase + Reno Costs) and low interest rates

This being my fist was a learning process so much of the benefit was in the learning and not as much profit.

No tax benefits in this case at all.Assuming this is an investment property for seller....1) ordinary interest income for the first two years2) Full cap gains and depreciation recapture in year three when paid off

I have begun learning Sketchup but I am just unsure of what would make me most valuable/benefit my progression the most.  

If you can sell the homes for 20k each, that is a value of $460,000 for the homes, resulting in you having paid $840,000 for the park, meaning $66,240 / $840,000 = 7.8% cap rate for the parkIf you plan to keep all the homes as park owned rentals, your expenses will be a lot higher, your tenant turnover will be a lot higher, and you lose all the powerful benefits of MHPs.  

Is there any benefits and downfalls for choosing one type of model over the other, other than the obvious?
