Hey Tony,To determine if a buyer is qualified, I recommend requesting a few key documents upfront.

We have a strong need for nice rentals.BP is a great source of info. 

My brokerage sends a weekly rate sheet for typical debt sources for multifamily and commercial assets (bank, agency, cmbs).

Sounds like this is a private money lender or a hard money lender.If you are getting funds from another source and relying on that to close, you should not put in the purchase agreement that you are buying with cash.

We were fortunate to buy a house that was almost entirely turn key so construction wasn't needed.

This question crossed my mind recently after reading a post and some comments discussing whether an investor is experienced enough to raise capital from outside sources.

Buying a mobile home to place on your land can be a great way to generate rental income, but like any investment, it comes with pros, cons, and key considerations.On the pro side, mobile homes are typically more affordable than traditional single-family homes, meaning lower upfront costs.

Understanding your goals before buying is key to determining what type of land to buy and how to use it.

A key lesson is to start small and build steadily—don’t rush into big deals before gaining experience.

From a financial standpoint, the key is to ensure you're purchasing properties at a price low enough to make rehab costs and refinance achievable.
