I am having a little trouble understanding this, as I thought that if a double wide was built and then brought to a lot as brand new.. not having a used one that has been lot to lot.. and immediatly tied down to foundation (slab). that it would then be seen as real estate, and not manufactured? 

You still need some money to cover part of the rehab until you get your first draw, and if you're a brand new investor you might not qualify for 100% LTC on your first deal, but if you can partner with someone with experience on their track record or can prove significant past contractor experience then we might go that high on your first deal. 

Many investors are growing their brand and their online presence and this can be the bane of our existence if it's not something we excel at.

Plumbing is all brand new. 

Would you consider buying a brand new triplex?

The SMARTEST thing I did...was follow a "who" not a brand or company or model or some "thing". 

Someone put a fancy brand name on something relatively common.When the policy is designed properly, they should always outperform traditional retirement plans (dollar for dollar).

I am not preticuarly brand new to real estate as I've done 1 house flip before and 1 brrrr here locally to me.To begin, I’m aiming to tackle two single-family BRRRR projects in the Jackson County, MO area.

I am wondering if my first steps (past the education part) is to build a network of people who know, like, and trust me through posting content like newsletters, articles, podcasts, doing webinars, going to events (aka build my brand), or, should I first find a deal and then raise capital?

I'd look for a good brand and spend some time looking at reviews from a big box store.
