I've known investors to try investing in mobile homes which have not worked out for them.

@James Rodenberg I think everyone should self manage when they start out because 1) starting out you have much smaller margins and saving the PM fee will help you stay afloat as you grow. 2) you learn by doing and you will gain good experience from dealing with tenants and their problems, you'll also learn how the mechanicals of your properties work so you'll understand why problems are occurring.

(which were commonly 18%+ at the time).The mechanics of getting a cash advance on an unsecured credit line have not changed (much) in forty years.

I was just thinking about if I’m older and it hurts to lift stuff, and I’m using my bike to be mobile, that you’re unreasonably hurting my quality of life for almost no reason.

Is there a step up in basis for the husbands half of ownership, will there be a $250,000 or $500,000 homestead deduction, and are there other mechanisms in play that I may not be aware of?

Property is land with mobile home. 

During the conversation he mentioned that a lady who is the administrator for the estate that owns a mobile home  located about 1,000 feet from my driveway was getting ready to sell the property. 

Im interested in knowing the process on possibly converting existing garage/mechanic shop space into restaurant space.

It is the equivalent of crashing your car then trying to buy insurance to fix the car after the fact.A home warranty or homeowners insurance policy will not pay for mold because mold is a maintenance issue.You didn't say what is wrong with the garage - if it's a broken door opener that is typically covered on a home warranty.My experience is mixed with home warranties and I can 100% tell you your satisfaction comes down to the local trade person that shows up.The home warranty company does not employ trades - they contract them locally at a fixed rate for the work performed sort of like how car mechanics are paid. 

Examples are mobile home parks, RV parks, and golf courses where the value of the property is not primarily derived from building(s) but rather from the improvements to the land.
