I'm fairly confident the OP has never read a title policy so it's likely it would be difficult for them to determine if the matter is covered, that's why I suggested submitting a claim, believing the worst that can happen is the title insurer denies coverage.Additionally, most listings I've seen contain a caveat that explains the information provided was obtained from the Seller and is believed to be accurate however the information is not warranted and it's recommend the information be independently confirmed.

I'm already financially independent, now I want out of the rat race within the next 5 years. 

Hi Beth,I agree with Catherine, do your research where you would like to invest or live in depending on the method you plan on using.

For others it may be an independent party (e.g., inspector, photographer) who can detail the condition of the properties. 

I am currently taxed as an "independent contractor" although I do have W-2 history at my previous job, so that is one aspect I am missing.

Each Mobile home has independent septic system, shared well, and tenants in place, I don't think zoning is an issue as it is pretty rural but I will be putting a call into the local building department.Thanks is advance!

I have done my own independent research up to this point, but I am wanting any advice from anyone in this field.

My goal is to achieve financial independence and have enough passive income to pursue whatever is of my interest by age 30 (realize it's pretty vague right now, working on that).I talked with a recent college grad who is pursuing this path also and recommended that I talk with hard money lenders to talk about financing.

By far it is the best performing buy and hold property she has, it cash flows over 700$ and almost 200k in appreciation within 3 years making the path to Financial Independence closer than before for her.

Some rent out garages for additional income or have shared laundry facilities that would add to the income.Insurance: call an independent agent and give the address and specify a landlord policy.
