I have a very good friend who is also a loan officer, so leaning on him for financing advice and best practice has been invaluable.While I can overcome the first widely conceived barrier to entry (money), I find myself hesitating to pull the trigger.

Even if we wanted to do this, the stile is apparently not wide enough to accommodate the lock, so the Kaba is out.Does anyone know another alternative that would allow renters to gain access without using a key and that could be managed remotely?

This will vary widely by location.

It's important for them because wholesaling is a fairly low cost of entry business with a wide reach.  

It would be nice to have a place where investors of a wide range of experience level gather and don't care about making money off of each other but only seek to have productive discussions and network with others.

Summerlin is widely regarded as the most high-demand, lowest crime, most desirable location in town.

A 1300 sqft double wide mobile (doesn't look as such from the photo of it), sitting on 10.5 acres of land... nothing in the whole town even comes close according to the MLS and public records to have such massive amount of land.

Park Insurance does not operate here, but they may underwrite nation wide.

As far as a budget goes I am more concerned with return, so I would give a wide range thinking $70,000- $220,000Just being new to DFW (coming from Arkansas) is a bit overwhelming with there being so many areas and neighborhoods.

So there's a very wide variety of loan products falling under the broad "portfolio loan" definition.
