My husband and I were able to change our plans a bit and attend the self guided portion of the tour last Saturday.

Guide me please!! 

Ultimately, your ROI criteria serve as a guiding principle, helping you make informed and strategic investment decisions tailored to your financial objectives and preferences.

Here are a few I recommend: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Roberto Kiyosaki; "Set for Life" by Scott Trench; "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer; "The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide" found here on BP; "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Tuner.

Start with BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide (free).

Yes I can guide you on it......i have several international partners.

Of course they all have personal guarantee.I am referring to rules Freddie has here https://guide.freddiemac.com/app/guide/section/5401.2 or Fannie has here https://selling-guide.fanniemae.com/sel/b3-6-05/monthly-debt... that debt paid for 12 months or longer by business can be excluded.

The main guide lines focus on it being on a permanent foundation (Concrete slab), Hurricane tie-downs if you are in FL, GA, LA and a few other states, must be a double wide and not moved from another location.

If you decide to reach out to any of the professionals, it'll even send you a really helpful guide for "How to Interview Property Management Companies."

Most cases Helocs have higher interest rates and shorter terms so the payment is higher and the guide lines are tough.
