The issue is that it can be more difficult to get a bank loan We found a very nice modular we were thinking of buying, but our realtor knew we only planned to stay in the home 3 years, so she advised against it.On the flip side (pun intended), if you're looking to buy for investment and can owner finance, you can get a steal on some modulars because they can be difficult to move.That said, things are always changing.

So that begs the question, why can the US Navy run a tight ship (pun intended) for all these years using similar technology in more adverse conditions, but others can’t?

This would be a great topic and value-add (no pun intended) for an article.

Then when you get sent a property, you search it in your map and can swipe left or right straight away (Tinder Pun). 

@Mack Owens there are a very few actual Pros and lot of "Cons (namely con-men)" in... turnkey and yes; PUN INTENDED! 

Especially if you can find a lender and loan officer now, will help when you're ready to make a move - pun intended ;)HML's will not and can not lend on personal residences.

I am in a "holding pattern" right now - no pun intended! 

8... lets say he harvest 2 every two months.... that guy is looking at smoking a 1/2lb-1lb (very low ammount for two plants) a month. or more definatly more... but if he's got a stable job, pays his bills, and its legal he could just have a chronic (pardon the pun) pain issue :p

The heloc would be 3-400/mo, whereas our monthly BK payment is 1,100/mo, I can't think of any good reason to delay getting the monkey off our back and start a new chapter (no pun).I think in the business of real estate investing good credit is crucial to a lot of things if you want to start well or grow, so in my mind the sooner we get the BK in the rear window the better.

In a good market we will be doing four of these a month ($6,400 in bid costs) with a sell rate of about .5%Mike F pretty much nails it (no pun intended, well maybe), more often than not owners and investors are looking for someone to design and work up their project for free.
