I'm in Tx so your laws may vary and I'm not an attorney:You have a choice to severance the mineral estate from the surface estate. 

But, being the newbie I am, I am questioning how to know if a bank will approve a refinance.The property does not (on the surface, no inspection yet) need any serious rehab, mostly fresh paint and carpet here and there.The property is almost fully rented and would generate positive cash flow from day one.What other factors might play a part in whether I'm approved for refinancing?

(LLC's were popular at one point but have been proven to be less attractive and "out of fashion" so to speak. 

Many different ways are dicsussed (yellow letter, SEO/website, old fashion door knock (@Joshua Dorkin). 

@ Corey, not bad advice on the surface but again, why?

I haven't seen that kind of growth in less fashionable suburbs and sprawl markets.As a resident of the most hyped urban region, I see people trying to hold onto a dream of ownership that encompasses their love for an area.

Things like moving homes into the park to fill up vacant spaces, renovating vacant park owned homes (which is radically different than the renovation of site built construction), selling homes (along with licensing requirements), carrying paper in the correct fashion, crafting the correct leases and notices with respect to the landlord tenant regulations for MHPs, etc.  

Thanks @Favia Vitan@Chaz Reid I own a fashion house.

Thank you BP for the wealth of knowledge I've gained from this site already...and I have a feeling I haven't even scratched the surface :)Cheers,Erika

Because if you can't see it on the surface you won't know unless you have  inside information.
