One vacancy every 2-3 years would devour most, if not all, of the profits.If a person owned 20 of these houses, yearly income ($36,000) is about as as much as the manager of the local Video Rental store, but it comes with $1,000,000 in debt.15 years is long time to carry around a deal that is essentially all equity and bare minimum cash flow.

I felt like I could build a business as a successful agent, piggybacking on the relationships with current clients that I've been nurturing for years, and with some of the capital earned, begin a BRRRR snowball that can pick up speed with partnerships and more success. 

trying to make a deal with a triple wide/shop and 20.1 acres, zoned ag, looking to put in rv spaces. if i can get the owners to carry part of the contract do i still have to come up with the 20% down payment.

I believe the same violation only carries a $50 fine if you own the home in your personal name.

This option seems to carry more risk, or at least effort.

@Carrie A.

Not only do are your taxes complicated right now, you have a bunch of carry forward items you'll need to track from year to year. 

They want to sell this lot and dump the money into another community project and I believe their opinion will carry weight with the zoning committee.

Especially if they will carry. 

@Nancy Carr, I think you already know the answer to this.
