The trailers in the Mobile Home Park (MHP) will likely be treated as personal property and can be depreciated over a shorter schedule, typically 5 or 7 years, rather than the standard 27.5-year depreciation used for residential real estate.

The quality of modern lumber is simply far inferior to the quality of lumber they were using to build homes in the early and mid-20th century.

I specialize in renting to Section 8 (BRHP) in nicer areas of Baltimore County and noticing significantly deteriorated tenant quality.

Additionally, I think a new build would attract higher quality renters.

This is a high cost of living area, and in the neighborhood right now, I see a 3 BR of worse finish quality listed for $3k and a 4 BR that's about equal for $3900, both unfurnished with long term leases.

Denying Based on Court RecordsYes, you can generally deny an applicant based on publicly available court records, such as evictions, judgments, or warrants in debt, as long as the information is accurate and you apply this standard consistently to all applicants.

Are there any tried and true/ industry standard sites, forums, etc. where those looking to avoid capital gains look for investment properties?  

This helps in setting the right rental prices, finding quality tenants quickly, and understanding local laws.

Even if you can't get the 100% of purchase + 100% of rehab though, you could still be looking at only needing to cover 5%, 10%, or 15% of the purchase with seller financing as opposed to the more standard 20% down on a DSCR loan.

@Doug LearnardRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?
