We had a unique ability to rescue these most folks simply did not have the same abilities.

The ability to purchase a home is near its worst levels since the 1980s.

Talk with an investor friendly mortgage broker to determine your budget for a single-family and a small multifamily property. 

Due to his lack of communication ability he has to work through third parties such as myself to obtain this critically needed information.

I strongly despise when costs of mentorship start to impact the mentee's already limited ability to put a down payment on a property.

I have the mental and physical ability to build more, just not the finances... 

I found a MHP that I am interested in possibly buying and came here to see what information I could find to help me determine if their asking price is reasonable and how to determine its value myself. 

I'm wondering how a lender factors these rental properties in to my ability to get a  personal HELOC? 

Your program sounds spot on, I like the "graduating" to less restrictive properties, but initial intake into the most tightly controlled home.The NIMBY factor is certainly an obstacle, but can be overcome with persistence (of legal action to enforce one's property rights, assuming one is in a correctly zoned area).something that could be added is work outreach program, as the ability to find work after recovery is obviously critical.

If you have a 12-month history of the property's performance, you may be able to get some wiggle room with more local banks for it.One thing that may impact the lender's ability to lend could be the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), but as long as the property cash flows well then that shouldn't be an issue.
