While some lender will allow statements from other countries and will convert to USD, the path of least resistance here is to have your funds already in the US and create a US based entity to vest on title. 

I would send them a bill now, not 30 days from now, outlining the charges, even if they are just estimates.

The only issue I've had is a small period where the laundry pods would always be empty at turnover. 

I know the larger companies around here were charging up to 25% but it will probably vary no matter where you are at.  

I’d honestly look for a trailer reseller or someone with their own land. 

I am looking for advice from people who have done this in the past.

I just moved to Tyler and bought my first real estate property here and I just wanted to meet other likeminded investors in the area!

Quote from @Brandon Bell: I've owned a property for four years with a standard fixed-rate mortgage, and now I'm looking to convert it into a rental.

In my opinion, it's at the far end of the un-sexy-but-profitable scale.

There is so much growth here - population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here.
