My brokerage sends a weekly rate sheet for typical debt sources for multifamily and commercial assets (bank, agency, cmbs).

It's a mobile home park performing as advertised, which I hope the sponsor holds for quite a while. 

I could come up with a down payment for an investment property in a different state easier than my home state at prices are pretty high in the 300-400 k just for townhomes.

However, because I am unable to make trips to scout locations or look at homes in person.

That $3,000 is typically the annual cost for a full service property management option. 

The home was clean and in great condition.

Hello All,
I am moving out of state and currently own 2 Bed 2 Bath condo that i have lived in for 4 years as of this month.

Buyers don't look for financing and its foreign so they don't jump on a forsale listing on zillow.I've had the best (only) luck with zillow rental adds,   starting with the pitch;  rent to own, live in a great home while you pay off owning it. 

Because 0-5% down does NOT happen unless you are owner occupying the home.
