If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

@Frankie Lotrec if you have an existing loan on the property and you plan to legally convert from a 4 unit to 5 unit , you should check the loan documents because you’d essentially be converting it to a commercial property, since 5+ units is considered commercial and subject to different appraisal approaches and so it would rule out the property being considered for purchasers utilizing residential financing.  

Have you considered creative financing options like joint ventures or seller financing to reduce reliance on outside capital?

Jacob,The advice you are getting from this guy who is "in lending" is very vague and is not covering all of the fine lines that manufactured home financing requires.

These requirements are solid, keep them: Application: Everyone aged 18 or older must complete an application.

Not applicable unless you plan on living in one unit.

I love a good creative financing transaction when done safely and ethically.

Mainland banks can not finance in PR. 

Full disclosure, I only deal in LTR at the moment, but I know when I am not getting the quality applicants or volume that I want, I will lower the price by $50 to $100 per week to spur more applications. 

How did you finance this deal?
