@Greg Parker This is a good thing to keep in mind. 

The real work is locating these properties and I've learned the best way to do this is to work in towns/areas that have online GIS systems that map; topography, wetlands, soils, etc. and assessors data available for download either from local sources or listsource.com.  

We all invest in real estate in order to make money, and keep in mind that someone who can only afford to live in a mobile home and seller-finance to buy the land is probably tight on funds. 

I know depending on where an investor is in their fix and flip journey and the market this will vary, but Im curious because I feel like this is important when it comes to a good deal since some investors might not mind making less to have more doors. 

Oklahoma as a whole has strong rental demand in many markets, just need to be mindful of the price-to-rent balance, as you mentioned.

MInd you, we've gotten really good at our scopes of work and we have one of our GCs go through the property with us to give us our scopes of work.

you live and die by your sub contractor relationships.. this is the key in my mind.

When we purchased our laundromat, it had a strong brand and positive reviews online.

Keep in mind, though, that each lender has their own criteria for how much future potential they’ll factor in, so it might come down to some skillful negotiation and presenting detailed projections that don’t feel like puffery.Just be careful not to come off as overly speculative…lenders tendd to shy away from what sounds too good to be true.Anyway, I’m curious.. have you spotted any other investors in Gainesville facing a similar refinance puzzle and what kind of terms were they able to secure? 

The guy should be in jail in my mind, but even with the market and all the other problems that have come up, they could have been straight with everyone.
