I've found that there are two basic ways to rent these properties by the year lease to a permanent resident or by the week.

Was just wondering if anyone has experience on whether it would be more convenient to use a Heloc to build and then refinance to pay off Heloc or just a standard construction loan to a permanent loan.A little bit of  extra info: -it would be our first build -it will be a full concrete build (roof too) -We have enough equity in one of our houses to cover the build cost of both builds if we use a HELOC.

I thought there was an FHA one time close mortgage that combines a construction loan with permanent financing.  

However his business model is deferent as he rents to low income permanent type tenants, while I am on to luxury, short term vacation travelers and event planners.

They may be too busy to deal with it and then a week turns into a month, six months, and before you know it, they got used to having a bucket in the middle of their living room, it's a permanent fixture, and they empty the bucket every few days.I am speculating here, but perhaps your tenant is one of those. 

As it turns out, they seem to have decided that the front yard of my rental property is the proper place to take care of this and while the yard is big enough to accommodate the occasional "transgression", 12 cats generate a huge amount of waste - to the point where there is a permanent stench at my front door.  

The thing I hate about construction (yes, even our "manufactured homes" have construction, when they are moved to a new, permanent lot), there all so many unknowns, and things that change on the spot, no matter how much research is done.  

Also since this is a commercial property you may be able to get a commercial rehab loan assuming you have a permanent job.

I am currently at my height of frustration for exactly the same reason...I am being held hostage by Sherman Bridge as the have ignored me and made zero effort towards completing my permanent loan that is my refi and pays off my hard money rehab loan.

@Roy N.By manufactured, in this instance, it is taken to mean something manufactured off site and transported to the location of the home or lot, then installed semi-permanently.
