For mobile homes, it often depends on whether the property is considered real estate (attached to land) or personal property (if it’s not).

Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Joshua KeimAs a fellow Memphis native, I’d love the opportunity to connect in person and discuss strategies with you!

But it sounds like you should also balance your decision on what fits you and your families preference and style since you will be using it personally. 2.

Ideally you would put only one persons name on the mortgage unless you absolutely had to have both to qualify.  

Apparently, the person I am under contract with was managing the estate of the actual owner who recently died.  

I am really interested in meeting any in-person groups in Boston (now-May) and Chicago (September-Onwards).

I personally wouldn't buy an old home as a rental, I only buy 1980 or newer for myself, all of my properties are in the north part of Gilbert built between 1985-2003.

Probably not a good person to hire, maybe let your bosses know. 

Personally, I self manage but have built systems to allow it to be fully remote and very passive.
