Sticky... sticky...Do you have anything in writing about the decals?  

This is a sticky situation, you may just have to work with a different buyer, I'd tell him to make me a cash offer or find another deal, never let them control the deal, I can't stress that enough. 

I understand that if I were to purchase this property I could not actually assume ownership of the mobile homes without the titles leaving me in a sticky situation should someone come back for these units. 

This assessment could change depending on what I find), and we get great quality upgrades to the property.The cons: without the discount, the house is little out of his price range, and we could get into sticky territory because we'd like to maintain a positive relationship with him.We haven't initiated anything here, just thinking things out.

@Rob Rice That was a very excellent post very on point.

(Discussed thus far is 10-15k from one, 20-25k from another, which I could accept separately, jointly or not at all).That being said, I wonder just how sticky navigating a partnership may be.

Many thousands of us professionals displaced from the work force would be all over that like white on rice.

The only thing that gets interesting is that anything related to the home, your parents have to do it unless they transfer it to you which can be a sticky situation between family.

There is a useful life and it can get sticky in how much the tenant should be on the hook for.  

Its a minor shift in thinking, that could still probably be accomplished using my own money, but it would require me to live on beans and rice to save up 20% down on 5 properties in 5 years.
