Never should you be paying 2.5 points on an FHA product.

A good host knows the local festival dates and has a handyman and multiple cleaners on call and ready to goa very clean house and quick turnaround are vital Im listed as a co-host but I pay a local host to do the legwork 

This is very important and can cost you a lot if you don't pay attention to these rules / regulations. 

@Stephen Karathomas The values of mobile homes and what you can pay for them depend on the area(s) you're working in.

I emphasized the quick closing timeline and my ability to pay cash via hard money financing to strengthen my offer.

I understand you don't need a lot of space, but you are paying someone else's mortgage.I would start with a fixer-upper investment, up to four units.

It simply means that you agree to let them perform a 1031 exchange which starts with the sale - not that you have to help them finish. 

that will not cash flow - you won't be generating "cash flow" from the property that will go beyond servicing the debt and allow you to pay down any principal. 

Simply look at any large apartment building.

Thanks ahead.I would never pay for it.
