I'll save this as an example for the future.

Don’t feel stuck, assuming equity increases and depending on your future loan to value, you can always refinance and other options.

I've tried researching this a bit but haven't quite been satisfied with what I have found, so I apologize in advance if this has been answered and I just missed it or didn't understand it correctly.

Few questions -...

In the future, I could see how a savvy person bent on finding me might be helped along by following the crumbs left by an old name. 

The difficult part isn't finding that property; the difficult part is finding quality roommate tenants and having good systems for screening, setting up rules and maintaining your future investment to achieve the best results. 

The financing was secured by another property but now I’m trying to pull equity out of the mobile home property to free up equity in my duplex for future deals. 

At the same time, I fear that a new tenant might stay there for ever and interfere with the sale at a future date.

Allowing them to install the ceiling fan only made sense if this was something you wanted to keep in the future. 

The high initial ballpark ranges might also be a way to buffer against future increases in labor and material costs.  

It's not the most exciting part, but future-you will thank present-you for being prepared.
