@Vince Scipione  This is very solid advice to keep it separate and I agree with you, the only reason I was even thinking of it was to help me raise the initial funds for my first investment.

FHA Loan – 3.5% Down (Owner-Occupied)Buy a duplex, triplex, or fourplex, live in one unit, and rent out the others.You only need 3.5% down with a 580+ credit score.STRs are typically not allowed initially, but you can transition over time.3.

The real prohibitive costs come from the legal, compliance, and reporting requirements of registering a security.

My initial reaction was "hell no".Algorithms are usually poor estimators of actual value.  

Read my book, Brandon's book, or Every Landlord's Legal Guide by NOLO and learn how to proactively manage your property well. 

Upon inspection the appraiser will see the crawl space and see it was a mobile home plus a HUD tag and public record.One of the requirements in mobile home financing is the property "Must" be on a concrete permanent foundation(in order to be real property) on top of that it requires concrete pillars, skirting and the "Well and Septic" dug and placed within legal distance from subject property.

The standard rule is $250k per person who legally owns/occupies for the 2/5 year requirement. 

Initially, I though I could only get 3 lots out of the land, but after some research and some luck I was able to subdivide the lots into 4 separate lots.

Could any of you guide me on what I should do initially to secure financing?

Our initial goal has been to buy a property every time the Army relocates me (roughly every two years) and rent it out afterward.
