He's cheap, fair, and runs a good crew. 

its cheap  compared to what you get I found a strict foreclosure in Oregon that their site was on the only one tracking it and we made over 300k on that one deal. 

MHPs are an eyesore, and board members of every growing city can’t wait for a developer to bulldoze the park and throw up some condos.

Unless you have some sort of subject matter expertise or access to an unfair advantage (cheap labor, ways to source off market deals, etc.), index funds are likely to provide an equal or better return with a MUCH lower hassle factor and more liquidity.

Even if a software is free or cheap, it's the time investment getting things set up and then tweaking it for the first few months that is the real "spend".

I haven't come this far to throw it all away. 

I feel this gives me the flexibility to find the right solution for my client and not just sell what my bank offers.I'll also throw in my 2 cents on common differences I've seen in my career:CDFIs - Because of their subsidized financing structure, they have the ability to be a low cost lender (and sometimes provide grants).

Sure there is some interest expense involved but you are getting the time value of money pretty cheap at today's sub 4% mortgages.And this scheme is trapping your hard earned after tax money into an illiquid asset. 

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

So instead they throw away there $$$ on program after program, guru after guru, trying to find a way around the things that there is no way around; Time, Energy and Focus.What is a STR?
