MHP is a mature space with many proven operators.

It gives you access to funds at a relatively low interest rate, and you can repay it as the rental generates income.

Depending on when you see this response, I think Momentum 2025 could be a perfect fit for where you're at right now, it's a weekly 8-week virtual series going over all kinds of RE topics with the pros, there's time for Q&A and also everyone will have access to small accountability groups to network and bounce ideas off one another.

Finally, as an aspiring/budding lender, I don't have as much access to mentors, but then again it's easier than rehabbing/flipping and probably easier than buying and holding and managing multifamily. 

They have full time staff dedicated to seller/owner outreach and relationships...dialing all day every day.Seems like there would be lots of opportunity in SFR and apartment space in your market with interest rates nearly double caps rates.

You definitely need a PM who specializes in the Section 8 space.

HOWEVER - it may be difficult for the appraiser to access the true value if a large percentage of transactions are not in the MLS.  

He's one of the smartest guys I know in the space.

One way would be to get the real estate under contract, then bring an experienced partner in who also has access to capital, and stay in the deal as a minority equity partner.
