I agree with you about the resale part, most people in CA combine the modular and the traditional, but im not sure how people will react to the modular house yet, do you have to disclose to the buyer that the house is build with modular? 

As long as you have great insurance, the above comments about liability are a bit over reacting. 

Nashville native here.

I spoke with my lender, he advised against it, unsure on how underwriters would react to seeing forbearance in my history.

I am native to Kansas City and also sell in Cincinnati/Dayton.

DMM sucks and so many people have no clue how bad it sucks because it is just all they know.See how you reacted to my post?

The strange thing about the Phoenix metro is the East Valley is starting to run into barriers and having to expand southward but unlike many cities that have this problem like LA or San Francisco it isn't the oceans or mountains that block development but the native american reservations. 

When Investing in a new city, you definitely want to consult with a native from that area.

I'm a native Kansas Citian and have enjoyed investing in Kansas City for over 15 years.

This deal has to close in 7 days so it may be interesting to see how they react.
