You're in the perfect place to grow your knowledge every day!

Based on your post and other comments, it sounds like your rehab is extensive enough that the property isn't habitable.

That is a great post, and I'd love to follow up and see how things went for my own personal knowledge. 

Do realize since they are mobile homes, and have VIN numbers you are not able to take out a tradional mortgage on them not to my knowledge.

So, the question is not whether to invest remotely, but where to invest.Investment TeamRegarding properties in distant cities: While books, podcasts, seminars, and websites offer general knowledge, you'll ultimately purchase a specific property in a specific location—each with its own unique conditions.

When I did open my SDIRA back when, I had done a lot of research but I guess I missed the understanding or knowledge of banks also having SDIRAs.

I would recommend planning for some unexpected costs on an extensive rehab like this, especially if the current tenant didn't treat the house well.

If it's the same 212 loan that I have some high level knowledge on, they offer fix and flip loans and are generally associated with a specific wholesaling firm. 

Is it mainly a sales pitch or is there good knowledge that you cannot find elsewhere?

Heart or head, feeling or knowledge.
