Because losses from rentals and income from stocks fall into two different buckets, they cannot directly offset each other. 

If you want to offer a "rebate" of some kind after they stay up to date for certain amount of time, I'm more inclined to go that way, but in general theres no real good reason to put yourself as the owner in the middle of the utilities unless they aren't metered in a way to bill directly.  

@Jefferson Black- thanks - I am not aware of any lender that  will do a loan on an INV  manuf home property ...you might contact the local small to mid size credit unions and banks in your area ...you also might try the bank that you have  funds deposited at - good luck

That particular area is known for clay deposits in the ground that can really mess up foundations.

Depending on what your investing goals are you want to looking into self directed IRA vs. checkbook IRA or even better if you qualify Solo 401k.

thanks for whom ever may lead in the right direction. 

Quote from @Felicia Nitu: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: hope it works.. but throwing in the affordable housing requirement a lot of times kills the project right there.Also at least in markets I have worked the time lines START from completed submission.. you make your submission and then get an incomplete letter this goes on for months and months soo time lines still extend.. but at least its a step in the right direction hope if works.Hi Jay, the affordable housing requirement can definitely be a dealbreaker for some projects.
