Question 1) You can absolutely get long term financing on good mobile home parks.

I also don't want to focus on one market, and not be able to score the right property for who knows how long, and then end up missing out on other locations, as being a long distance land lord is very popular as well.

This means leaving the door open that long to dry.

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

Or. if you can’t wait that long. 

Kind of hard to tell them to match or I go to the other bank when they are getting messages from the seller and escrow daily that we need to close ASAP.I can't actually push it off for too long since I don't know when the second bank will close and we removed contingencies a month ago.Signed with the first lender and had to swallow the points.Learned some interesting lessons along the way.

We are NorCal and are not yet in flipping but looking into long term rentals currently.

Ideally, you network with people who have owned properties for a long time.

As long as you do with the same lender they can cross collateralize. 3.  

It's not hard, just takes a few minutes.Like I said above, I haven't been STR hosting for long.
