This cost is going to be the bulk of your monthly payments for mobile homes in parks.

go to lots and lots of meetups.2. talk to those HMLs and find out what their terms are.3. save up enough so that you have a down payment, reserves, and also enough in cash for the hold period. 

I know there are pros and cons to each side of this question but is it better to self fund your first deal or to put a down payment for a real estate investment loan?

@Russell Brazil Although, Russell brings up a good point, I have personally read the Fair Housing Act several times and have never seen anything in there about it being illegal to discriminate against payment source.

So call it $60K for the down payment, and another $8,200 for reserves.

A $100k Heloc payment will be around $750 per month (verified with el sereno client) and rents are $2,300 p/m so you tell me if this is a good idea or not. 

Get your credit cleaned up, ditch the car payment and find a side hustle to grow capital. 

I haven't made my first payment on my 3rd house yet and super happy with the results.   

Also the Voucher doesn't cover the security deposit which in most cases, I have to put my S8 tenants on a security deposit payment plan for those to get them qualified to move-in on my applications.

I would take the $60K and buy a vacation property in Florida so that I would only need a 5% down payment.
