One question I do have is being a perspective investor is it really necessary to get my real estate license?

Early on in my investment career I had to learn to view properties from a new perspective.

From your perspective, I'd name your price.

I haven't had that happen, but I might suggest you try to get a fresh HELOC elsewhere based on the improved valuation of the property.

Hi, my names is Jim and I'm an investor...

Technically speaking, I've been investing since 2009 when I bought my first SFH and rented 2 of my rooms to my roommates I shared an apartment with. It's hard to re...

Maybe I need to search for a new realtor fresh in the game that is looking to put food on the table. hmmm

My plan is to put $2000 into the mobile home "freshing it up" and then CFD it(only the mobile home) out for 6-7k on terms with 1k down and 18% interest for 3 years.

I've been looking into a couple of these in my county and it looks like to me that they actually go through the legal process of notifying and foreclosing on their note and then just quit claim their interest to whoever buys it at auction.Makes sense from their perspective, saves them the cost of taking possession of the property, removing occupants, boarding up, winterizing.I've driven by the ones I'm interested in and they don't appear to be occupied.

I think that note is also going to need a significant discount to account for its long term, it being underwater and it being so fresh.

Of course, investing out of country comes with tribulations of its own - you need a good accountant and real estate / corporate lawyer, with cross-border experience, on your team to ensure you set things up correctly from a legal and taxation perspective.
