I also have two buy-and-hold rental properties and am passionate about exploring unique financing opportunities.Recently, I used a VA loan assumption to purchase an investment property at a 3.3% interest rate, which was instantly cash flow positive. 

As long as the location was in the path of progress, and the units themselves had already or the ability to add features like off street parking, in unit laundry, etc. 

After a few candid conversations, they realized they could negotiate slightly higher rents by offering small improvments..things like better loading dock access or upgrading the security features..turning a so-so cash flow into something much healthier.When you break down your family friend’s situation, it might help to consider these angles:Selling and redeploying capitla could open up opportunities in markets where cash flow is a bit juicier.

It ended up okay, but it sure taught her to slow down and get comfortable digging deep into the due diligence.Here in San Diego, I’ve seen the seasoned investors always double-check with a well-regarded local title attorney..I’ve heard there are a few firms around downtown that specialize in smoothing out odball title issues..or a trusted property manager who knows what unique fees to expect.

Central Ave has a number of unique, local restaurants and drink spots (laundromat speakeasy with bottomless mimosas and Cuban food on Sundays).Good luck!

So when I started getting more inquiries on VRBO, I assumed (incorrectly) this was a similar feature until a few days ago.

Mobile home parks often have unique challenges and opportunities, and it’d be great to hear how you’re approaching this one.If you’re open to sharing more about how you found the deal or approached the seller, that would be valuable for others looking to break into mobile home park investments as well.
