Oh, one more thing to be wary of, section 8 contracts states that if you have long running issue and not fixing it, not only can they stop the rent payment for that unit, but for every unit in that property.and another one. 

I am looking into other ways to get into this since I have found MHs to fix up but now have no land to put them on.

Anthony id take your offer on meeting new contractors man are you looking to do more fix and flips?

After that I would read every single book on fixing up properties that you can find, and how to find off market properties and then start implementing those strategies.  

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

I used Smarter Contact last year, and there is big issue they need to fix.

An engineering backed modeling study would be good for smaller residential properties.

A couple fix and flips that were financed with HELOC.
