Being a realtor, you already know the area, you know contractors and you know what's happening in the city.

Hi @Yents Ybrimovic - I love the FHA 203k renovation, but to be honest I love the Fannie May HomeStyle renovation loan even more.As an investor and a general contractor, I have used both products here in Chicago!

I can come up with money for flips and have a contractor I have been talking to for the work.

Plus, you'd have no control over the brand, size, or capacity of any of these units.First, I'd want to see quotes from reputable contractors.

Water leaks, problems under the trailer ie insulation falling, a tub cracking, a new roof, frozen/cracked pipes (usually in January- and plumbing companies simply will not respond to mobile homes), rotting siding, bad exterior doors etc. 

My name is Rebecca and my husband, Nick Knox III and I have run Captain Save a Home LLC, Brew City REI Club, Brew City REI Training Cafe and Wisconsin Contractor and Handyman Club based out of Milwaukee, WI for over a decade.

Las Cruces is a small college town (home of the New Mexico State University Aggies) with healthy population of federal government workers and military contractors.

Do you have any recommendations for real estate agents, contractors, or other resources in the area?

Your biggest problems here are going to be how to properly qualify someone, what to do if someone stops paying, footing the bill if you have a big repair item, finding quality and reasonable vendors/contractors to fix things, and keeping track of payments.If this isn't you, give me some more context of where you're at and I can give some better insights. 

I am a contractor and have been doing work for a broker.
