@Jefferson Black- thanks - I am not aware of any lender that  will do a loan on an INV  manuf home property ...you might contact the local small to mid size credit unions and banks in your area ...you also might try the bank that you have  funds deposited at - good luck

Hi Meghan,Curious why you would choose DFW instead of Memphis to get started on your portfolio, especially if you are local.  

Exploring the BRRRR strategy locally in DFW could also be a smart way to start scaling your portfolio

These can provide good cash flow and are easier to manage than larger commercial properties, especially when you're just starting out.Also, when I was starting, I found local meetups super helpful.

Connecting with local investors can give you insights you won’t get from books or YouTube.

You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?

Maybe network with local hunting ranches see if you could find an investor to help manage the property, the wildlife, advertising and lodging. 

To invest out of state successfully, focus on building a strong local team (agent, PM, contractors), automating deal analysis, and using contingencies to protect yourself.

I work with both local and out-of-state investors, as well as residential sellers, and I offer staging services to maximize showings and listing photos.

Networking with local wholesalers and real estate agents who specialize in investment properties can also lead to off-market opportunities.
