I have done a bit of research on modular homes and think it might be cheaper than to build a place from scratch, however I am having trouble finding a model that matches my vision for this center.Does anyone have any experience building in this area of the country or have any advice regarding modular homes vs building (construction loan)?

And yes that $1200 a year will be a large help to the business model. 

What a reassurance that I am on the right track here and that you have had significant success with the exact model I am looking to implement.

We take a similar approach with some of our buildings and model our numbers with land-value at disposition.

Our buy and hold model is to buy homes in Columbus Ohio with private capital, stabilize the asset, and then refinance to put more permanent financing in place. 

Building new, rehabbing, buying tax deeds, ect etc...I like them because they are setting the comps in local neighborhoods that need improving but I would like to see how thier business model survives without such a strong market. 

I have switched my model up recently and am only buying a handful of rentals a year that I can pay cash for and leave paid off, so I have developed quite the marketing machine in this area. 

I was using a Microsoft Surfacebook Pro (model year 2017) that does have a touch enabled monitor, however that monitor was not in use because the laptop is attached to a normal monitor where the browser was displayed.  

.- If you go with owner financing, you become the bank so you get paid every month but repairs, property taxes, etc... are no longer your problem.You know your personal financial situation as well as the condition of the home as well as rents in the neighborhood so you will have to decide which model is best for your situation.Good luck!

Our model is: FlippingThanks
