Given your situation, you should consider and explore house hacking options heavily.

You should ask a host of questions about how they handle situations and the systems in place - rent collections, maintenance, evictions, vacancies, etc.

Depends on your exact situation, so either 3.5% or 5% down would be the minimum on a new primary residence. 

If I am missing any information that could help our situation, let me know so I can include it in when talking to lenders.

If the bottom insulation of the home is torn and the skirting is not properly maintained, it can cause a host of other issues, like pest and moisture problems.Additionally, if the foundation is not sturdy enough, situated correctly, or on a concrete slab (permanent foundation), a mobile home’s support may sink slowly into the earth over time.

Difficult tenant situations can be an opportunity.

I would phone the locksmith to get details on the situation and my hands on the invoice.

It seems like the condo you linked is almost geared towards short term rentals, so you should be in the clear on this specific situation. 2) I would take a look at some STR data either via a dynamic pricing software (pricelabs, wheelhouse, etc.) or take a look at Airdna to take a look to see what is the “sweet spot” is in terms of size of rentals in your market.

Does anyone have advice or contacts for a lender that would be able to help us out in this situation?

Unfortunately I wound up with a life changing situation that forced me to give it up.
