The two earliest popular and successful “gurus” were Jimmy Napier, whose speciality was investing in notes, mobile homes, and real estate “exchanging”, and John Beck, whose speciality was tax auctions, and complex series of exchanges in which John used near worthless lots acquired for pennies at tax auctions at full tax assessed value for exchange purposes, usually as a downpayment, or as collateral for a private note.

More carriers are being approved to come into the state and the competition should help ease rates.The overall MSA market is still doing well.

Mobile lenders also do not seem to want to lend on it due to the mixed nature of it.

It looks like my area is approved for that.

Unfortunately having title issues is one of the reasons that sellers are sometimes willing to do seller financing simply because they know mortgage companies won't approve without proper title work and title insurance so they have to be more creative in the ways they sell but that can be risky for you as a buyer.If you do seller finance I recommend having very specific terms on HOW payments will be made and accepted and using a professional service like https://www.agecroftcapital.com/ for loan management in the case of any disputes - just my personal rec, not sponsored by BP though I do work for BP :)

Hey Scott,Yes, house hacking into a new place and holding the duplex a couple of more years is one of my top options I'd say as I figure in 2 years I will also have the experience to be approved for commercial property as well as more equity assuming the market doesn't tank!

@John Herold I would start by talking to the mobile home dealerships in your area.

I know where I live a project like this could be very difficult and expensive to get approved through local planning boards. 

I'm sure your cost of living is less given you're in the RV, can be mobile (see the country, work remotely) etc.
