And this is a biggee wading through the fake lenders or the Joker brokers that tell you what you want to hear  but cant get the deals funded and you lose the deal and a lot of money.3. with actual PML  private people  usually have very limited funds so cant scale with them.. they can have a life event and just stop doing loans all together..

I’m considering buying a plot of land in the Cleveland area and getting a manufactured home (duplex if I could find the right zoning) put onto a permanent foundation to use as a long term rental. 

@Ngozi IwunzeOne way to avoid capital gains is to turn the flip into a rental after the rehab and then do a 1031 exchange into a more expensive property. 

I hired a surveyor,  engineer and ran through the process with the city myself. 

Looking for free or cheap paperwork online is not the route to take.

I was wondering what your experience has been, good or bad with buying rental property in close proximity to the firehouse/station?

There are several myths that we have to debunk before someone truly believes they can do it.You need millions of dollars to do a dealThat it’s too complicated to figure outThat permitting takes yearsIn those communities developments cost way less (think a couple hundred thousand along with a loan from a regional bank), permitting is not difficult (much less red tape), and the towns are small enough that both the city staff and the local architects and engineers and contractors all work with you to help you navigate the process since you’re all invested in making your community better.Note: The big boys can play in the primary & secondary markets.

This is the case in a few states. 

I'm interested in following this project when/if you kick it off. we have this in columbus. 58 rooms on .1 acres. 28000 sq ft. but this site the land is 50k it's set same as columbus but in miami dade county but sounds good. are you more interested in the miami one or the columbus one? 

Sure, the house may look incredible, but you'll never see the return for that incredible rehab on the sale.
