I like the idea of contacting the local dealers.

The tenant in one of our properties has been calling us lately complaining about drug dealers on her block.

After you read this post GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND GO MEET OTHER HUMANS!

Hi, I'm from California I wen to the housing development to start my dealers license they told me I have to have  four years college and experience in planning and development, then they will look at my application then qualify me. is there a better way to invest in mobile homes? 

Did a little "house hacking" in college (without even knowing the concept), have helped with flips (in the construction), and finally did my first solo flip last year.Although I'm licensed as an agent, I'm not here to be a human spammer.

I have a deal im looking at from a turnkey dealer and want some advice on which approach to take.Traditional financing w/ 20% down w/ my own money.Traditional financing using my mom's HELOC, use cash flow to pay down loan and her HelocMy mom's HELOC for entire purchase to get a cash "discount" of 2-3k, then use cash flow to pay down heloc or refinance out of it after seasoning then repeat.I know it will depend of the person, know that I am not a debt snowballer and don't mind high leverage.

Many drug dealers with no verifiable income and credit will do this to entice landlords.

Total aside - I lived right next to drug dealers / very heavy users in a B+/A- area in Northern Virginia, but their frequent guests didn't cause any trouble to me (didn't break into my car or rob my house), so I left it alone.

@Dylan Vargas and @Scott Wolf are two of the more active Chico people on Biggerpockets....and they happen to be good human beings as well.Tell Scott I still have his water bottle!    

So the expense bit, becomes a moot point pretty quickly.And David, I wasn't talk about proximity of an ocean, not to mention one that you can only access 2 months out of the year, and those 2 months it happens to be insanely hot outside ;)As humans, if we are in the same place for a long time we will justify in our heads and bring up the place to be better than it probably is.
