Think of it as a hedge against inflation for all that capital you've saved.

It is a great way to start generational wealth, enact numerous tax benefits and the top secondary market to hedge against inflation. 

@Ian Loonce I think a lot of appraisers did get sued in 2008-2010 for unscrupulous practices, mostly working with lenders to inflate prices etc. so there are probably plenty of cases you can look at.

@Jake Conahan while I would normally advocate for utilizing that equity as soon as possible before you lose it to inflation, in your case you may want to clean up your DTI before moving forward.

In looking at deals, you really need to be mindful that rent growth, etc that we've seen for the past period will likely not persist (it can't without runaway inflation), thus you can't buy for projections/pro forma numbers.   

We know this is just because of what’s happening with inflation but we want to be able to take advantage however we can!

-MHs are affordable housing, which is in very high demand (and demand will only further skyrocket as inflation and other costs of living rise)-MHs can be in Parks or on private land.  

Inflation is also on the rise for basic goods..... you finish the rest.This is probably a pretty grim scenario.

I do believe the property values provided to me by the Harris County Appraisal District were inflated.- I received my 2022 Appraised Value and Market value at ~421k as of 1/1/2022- The property purchase price on 11/19/2021 was 395k.

@Allison Schleichert You are right, interest rates are increasing and we both know a hard asset is the best hedge against inflation.
