On deals i have been in with parks, there have been seller financed notes, park owned homes, skid steers, laundromats, apartments , houses etc, cars, vending, etc and as long as the rest of the deal pencils out , you just try and figure out a way to make it work with both parties being ok and it not being a significant hinderance on the transaction. 

I don't think many teens are equipped to answer that question and merely take the path they think they are supposed to or are steered to. 

Caution Will Rogers, if you have a Realtor involved, like a listing agent, and it is contrued that the agent is suggesting that a buyer go to any lender, that can be "steering" and is illegal.

I'd personally steer clear of Portland for the next few years.

as a newbie I'm trying to wrap my brain around creative investing as a new BM trying to wrap my brain around creative investing so if there's anyone out there from the area who could maybe throw some advice my way or steer me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it. 

But on the first couple deals, I would steer clear.

This would be my first property ever and taking action steered me onto an unexpected path of overseas real estate.  

I have never purchased a property before and the mortgage guy seems to want to steer me towards buying this property as my private property, which I am against because I do not want to live in it.He said it will give me more options in the future, obviously it would give me the option to do an FHA.

Hope that steers you in the right direction.

In MA if the worst case scenario is the case and there is an addition that wasnt permitted, you should steer clear.
