I am seeing more lenders starting to offer manufactured home loans, that normally did not. 

I would like to purchase a three or four Plex and live in one of the units.I understand I can use an FHA loan or conventional loan with only 3 to 5% down in order to get into the property however I live in a very expensive area and the properties I am looking at are currently 700+. 

Hi Steve, The lender will order an appraisal with an AS IS Value and ARV Value for fix and flip loans.

That’s awesome that you’re gearing up for your first fix and flip!

The majority of our properties already have DSCR loans on them, are tenant occupied, have been owned for less than a year/have sizable capital gains, are in a high appreciation market, may take a while to sell at market price on the MLS.Are there any loan products, even ones with balloon payments, that would let us access some of our equity in our properties through refinance or a 2nd position loan.

You can finance manufactured homes with a DSCR loan. the max LTV is 65% for both purchase and refinance.

One option is to find a co-signer with W-2 income to help qualify, or you could explore DSCR loans, which focus on the property’s income rather than your personal income.

I wanted to see if anyone is familiar with or can recommend paid mentorship programs or coaches for small multifamily unit investing (2-4 units).In my research, I’ve found that most mentorship programs or resources I come across are geared toward large syndication apartment building purchases or other types of investments, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, single-family homes, Section 8, or fix-and-flip projects.

But over the last two weeks, as I've kicked my learning into full gear, I've begun to realize that this could be a viable strategy sooner rather than later—a sentiment that has been affirmed in some of the conversations I've had in the last month.Please feel free to connect with me on BP, Instagram, or LinkedIn (links to my profiles).
