If you are only able to make money by purchasing mobile homes from super-highly motivated sellers that are pulling-their-hair-out then you will not be in business for long or not full-time at least with MHs.

Scott, prices here are similar, a hair lower but certainly in line here as well.

Overall things will break whether it is you living there or an actual tenant, you may be more careful than a tenant but don''t split hairs trying to justify numbers when at some point in the future you will move out and still want it to cashflow at that point.Also a general reminder the 50% rule is not the end all be all it is an initial pass at the numbers so evaluate the deal based on actual numbers.

There's no greater or worse feeling Every time you see dust or REALLY ANYTHING of a small spec or a piece of your own hair tickle you And has you literally fully loaded with a flash light with new batteries(god forbid you run out of batteries). 

Its starting to feel like investors are viewed as the enemy.

(And don't try and tell me about insurance, you hair-splitter.

That way; if one falls through; you're not ripping your hair out over it.

More than usual, like I said people don't want a hair to be out of place.and to add onto Jeff Bridges list10.

(there is no collaterial).They would like basically like to have a loan to get the business started and then have us out of their hair after it's paid off.

Or not;)I am super cautious towards most things, but bridge loans and such seem to raise a few more hairs than normal...Let me know what ya'll think.
