This strategy showcases how buying directly from motivated sellers, renovating strategically, and selling retail can yield substantial financial gains in a relatively short time frame.

I'm the same way, I'm originally from Portland Oregon and moved out to a new real estate market for this exact reason.

This is a time consuming business.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: @Robert Ellis In order for the QOZ investor to reap the tax benefits the hold period has to be longer.

Jacob,The advice you are getting from this guy who is "in lending" is very vague and is not covering all of the fine lines that manufactured home financing requires.

From that day I had 3 months to buy a multifamily.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Ellis Moyewe really don't know a lot about this situation since there aren't many details in your post... but i don't think this makes any sense for anyone involved here...if it's a flip that's not selling, refinancing may not solve your problem and allow you to pay back the HML in fulland typically a sub to buyer wants a low interest rate... and if you refinance now you won't be getting a low interest rate, you'll just be getting whatever the market offers.and finally.... the vast majority of loans are NOT assumable. 

If you sell it, you get $250k single / $500k married exemptions from capital gains.Speak with a tax professional about how much you'll save in taxes by doing this.
