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.

Malibu allows it but requires a 15% "hotel tax" on the gross revenue.I would recommend looking out of state or underwrite the property as a long term rental in the event laws change.

Maybe if you can, move around every month to check out different operations.You might also be checking out 1st time homebuyers programs, zero down programs and what the requirements are to do that. 

This will affect things like required down payment, rates, and even which lending institutions would be willing to finance. i encourage you to look up warrantability for financing just so that you don't have surprisses when your 20% down buyer cannot finance that way.

Duplexes are a little easier than 3-4 units with FHA since they don't have to meet self-sufficiency requirements.

The only thing the bank required is that I had a checking account with direct deposit setup into their account. 

I have 2 deeds to houses coming in the mail from last year SC will give the defaulting owner the overage if they request it.Also in SC there is no foreclosure or paperwork of any type required to get the tax deed after the redemption period ends.

If your goal is financial independence, then selecting an investment city is a straightforward process due to the income requirements for financial independence.

I specialize in investment properties, high-end homes, and commercial real estate, and I run Updegraff Group Realty, a full-service brokerage that helps investors not only find and fund deals but also manage construction, optimize returns, and scale their portfolios.Financing Your First Deal Without Using Your Own MoneyIt’s a common question, and the truth is—it’s very doable, but it requires strategy and relationships.

You can give them whatever notice is required by their existing lease to enter, go in or send your pm and take photos to use to compare for your records on move out.
