Far too many parks just 'give' a resident in the park free space rent to keep an eye on things and do light maintenance with no 1099 reporting. 

I've lived in Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and California(current residence), and analyzing deals in my "back yard" at each location usually ends with me paying out of pocket to own a rental. 

I completely agree with @Ashish Acharya's points about the cost-effectiveness of a HELOC and the potential credit implications if it’s secured by your primary residence.

And the first thing that came up when Googling the subject was Dodd and Frank, which requires RMLO if you originate more than 3 loans per year to a real estate buyer who will be residing in the property (Dodd Frank does not apply to commercial transactions, rental properties/duplexes and etc. among others).I know successful people who did this for a decade or decades.

Is that amount worth risking at this time potentially having to pay from your primary residence?

no reports of incidents with our residents but there were some people injured and some homes damaged. 

For example, the FHA will all 100% financing on a purchase anywhere in the country, not just in the disaster area, for someone residing in a disaster area at the time of the disaster, whether they were a homeowner or renter.

I worked with a travel nurse who does shift work and 5 lenders said that they couldn’t finance her primary residence purchase and I ended up making it happen for her. 

Kind of hard to see why you would not want to press this button and try to pay it down/off as soon as possible, if it's your primary home.It's very unlikely you'll regret purchasing a primary residence in Boston if the market rallies, and if the market downturns.
