Some of the manufactured home companies have a modular home option, I know Clayton does.

@Matthew Posteraro I'm a big fan of starting with the 5% options. 

Reach out if you would like to compare options or revenue potential for different homes and communities. 

@Bien Nguyen I'd be happy to discuss options with you in the Murrells Inlet (Garden City Beach) area. 

Plus, many of the properties here are older and not exactly cheap.My other option is Tucson, AZ, where I’m originally from.

any suggestions on how I should compare these 2 options?

Option 2: Make minor upgrades to the rental property to increase the rent (the current lease is almost ending) and hold onto it.

Quote from @Jimmy Chao: I am weighing some options to help my younger brother buying his first primary with a fixer.

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...

In light of this, I have been exploring the possibility of pursuing creative finance options, specifically seller finance deals, as a potential means to achieve my goals.
