I've cam up with a $280k ARV because to properties on the street and block sold 7 months ago for just of $300K same style, rooms and similar sqft, only major difference is the house I might be possibly rehabbing has only 1 bathroom and the rest that sold for just over 300k has 2 bathrooms.

This one is coming with 20% instant equity and needs "nothing" to rent out in the heart of grandview it's already a bit overdone for the area - granite, stainless, hardwoods, outbuilding) - I think this one will rent as soon as I take possession and market it.On the financing side, I took my relationship with portfolio lender a step further and moved some security assets I've been holding a long time (income oriented things like bond ETFs) for free to their asset management division, which allowed them to give me a line of credit with those as collateral at 3.5% "interest only".  

This is important to me because I want to be able to provide my family with a healthy and prosperous life style.

I have always been a Goals Orientated type guy :Last year have you met your realistic goal so far for this year ?

So adding on a kitchen and bath may literally require whole new plumbing because mobiles used old style plastic cheap stuff that rots away and you can't fix or add toi. 

The property is under my name, and I rent out the other side to two wonderful tenants.The work has been done Do-It -Yourself style, and I have gone a few months now successfully living rent free.  

Perhaps marketing to absentee owners REI style is an option.
